In addition to (or instead of) the bundle, you can install the Tor software on your system so you can get access to, among other things, torify. This is really great for making sure your sites are configured properly from the view point of both regular users and also allows you to see your site from the viewpoint of those with more malicious intent. Once the bundle is installed, you can browse your own sites and services from URL's outside your own network. The bundle is the recommended way of browsing through the Tor network. The bundle includes the Tor software itself, and a patched version of Firefox ESR, preconfigured for use with Tor. If you go to the Tor Project download page, you'll be able to download and get the Tor Browser Bundle. Tools provided by the Tor project can also be really useful for testing your own network. Tor is a great tool for protecting your network traffic by keeping you anonymous.
