In depth
A closer look at Tortilla
In a world where online inter-connections are common, and activity surveillance has become a habit, tools dedicated to privacy protection play a very important role. The Tor (acronym for The Onion Router) network is well-known for its power to hide a user's identity during Internet navigation sessions. In turn, Tortilla is a simple command line tool whose purpose is to make sure all your network traffic is redirected towards Tor for security purposes.Using the app is not difficult, but you have to read and follow the instructions for everything to work properly. First, note that your system must be configured to support test-signed driver certificates. Tor (Expert Bundle) must already be installed on your computer and launched with administrative privileges.Running Tortilla will reveal a console window and the configuration is initiated. Once the global variables are initialized, Tortilla starts deploying the Tortilla Adapter, alongside the necessary drivers. The next and final step is to configure the host PC (or virtual machine) to use the Tortilla Adapter as its network adapter.Tortilla is actually a DHCP server, which means you will have to make sure TCP/IPv4 is configured to obtain an IP address for your computer via DHCP. More advanced users can browse the Tortilla.ini file and change the configuration if they wish to.As long as Tortilla is running and the Tortilla adapter is in use, all the DNS and TCP/IP traffic that reaches your computer is automatically rerouted to the Tor network. As such, your identity is protected, and your files are secure, regardless of the applications you are running on your computer.Tortilla provides a new method to anonymize your connection via Tor, without using additional virtual private network apps or running virtual machines. Hiding your real identity via Tor means that your Internet activity will not be tracked or monitored. In other words, traffic and consumer behavior analysis will become history for you.
