Using GPG Sync with Tor

Micah Lee edited this page Feb 12, 2019 · 3 revisions

It's simple to configure GPG Sync to download the keylists address and refresh public keys from key servers using the Tor network. First, you need to install a system Tor on your computer.

  • Mac OS X: The easiest way to install Tor and have it always run in the background in OS X is by using Homebrew. Install it if you don't already have it. Then install Tor and configure it to run in the background by typing this into your terminal:

    $ brew install tor
    $ brew services start tor
  • Linux: Make sure you have a system Tor installed in the background. In Debian or Ubuntu, you can run sudo apt install tor to install it.

Now edit your GPG Sync keylist, click "Show advanced settings", and check the box next to Load URL through SOCKS5 proxy (e.g. Tor). Leave the host as 127.0.0.1 and the port as 9050, and save.
