Ubuntu versions prior to 16.04 / Linux Mint before 18.x do not use systemd, so some things in this article do not work for both versions earlier. This should work on Ubuntu 16.04 / Linux Mint 18.x, Ubuntu 18.04 (and 18.10) / Linux Mint 19 (and 19.x), and newer, as well as Linux distributions based on Ubuntu, such as SO Elementary, and Ubuntu as Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, etc.

This article explains how to install the latest version of Tor on Ubuntu 18.04 or 16.04 or Linux Mint 19 and 18.x, and how to use it as a proxy with several applications.

Tor (The Onion Router) directs Internet traffic through an overlapping network of volunteers, in order to protect user privacy and freedom.
