If you set an appvm’s netvm to be your torvm (making your appvm an anonvm), then all internet traffic in that appvm gets transparently proxied through Tor. Qubes also supports a special kind of netvm called a torvm. Now you can open Tor Browser the way you open any other software in any of your appvms. If your appvm was already running when you installed torbrowser-launcher in your templatevm you’ll have to shut it down and restart it. Now all you have to do to add Tor Browser to your menu is go to an appvm’s settings, switch to the Applications tab, and move “Tor Browser” and “Tor Browser Settings” from Available to Selected, and save.

fedora-20-圆4), install torbrowser-launcher (and then cleanup your templatevm’s home dir): sudo yum install QubesIncoming/tbl-builder/torbrowser-launcher-*-1.noarch.rpm

Next, open a terminal in your templatevm (e.g. Now that you’ve copied the RPM to your templatevm, you can shut down and delete the appvm you just created. Go ahead and copy this to your templatevm: qvm-copy-to-vm fedora-20-圆4 dist/torbrowser-launcher-*.rpm When you’re done, it should have built an RPM package in dist/. Create a new appvm (I called mine tbl-builder), open a terminal in it, and follow these steps: sudo yum -y install git python-psutil python-twisted pygame wmctrl gnupg fakeroot

You’ll need to build an RPM from the torbrowser-launcher source code first. I originally only made Tor Browser Launcher work in Debian-based distributions, but since the default templates in Qubes are based on Fedora, I recently ported it to RPM-based distributions as well. It takes care of downloading Tor Browser Bundle for you, verifying the gpg signature, making sure you’re always using the latest version of Tor Browser, and making it easier to launch. I maintain a piece of software called Tor Browser Launcher.
