Keeping your operating system patched
Tor cannot help if the device itself is already under someone else's control.

The limit of Tor
Tor hides your network location, but malware on the device can still see your screen and keystrokes.
Install security updates promptly
Enable automatic security updates for the operating system and restart when they ask you to.
Remove what you do not use
Uninstall old software and browser plug-ins you no longer need; each one is another thing to patch.
Consider a dedicated system
Privacy-focused systems such as Tails start fresh every time and route everything through Tor.
Tip A patched system matters as much as an updated Tor Browser.
Addresses The verified Torzon addresses are listed on the overview page.
