</div>If you're running Tor as shipped (i.e. you've not modified the config)<br>
then you can tell applications to use a SOCKS proxy on localhost port<br>
9050. If you're running polipo then you might also have use of an HTTP<br>
proxy on port 8123.<br>
<br>
Tor itself isn't going to give you a secure connection though. It<br>
assists (a lot) with anonymity, but otherwise is only as secure as the<br>
protocol you use. If you use a plain text protocol (e.g. telnet) then<br>
your traffic can still be snooped. You need to use encryption *as well<br>
as* Tor if you want security.<br>
<br>
I'm sorry if the above seems too technical. Unfortunately both security<br>
and anonymity require some understanding of how things work. NB. You<br>
haven't said what system you're using. I'm a Linux user.<br>
<br>
