How to install Adobe Flash plugin in to Tor Browser


This is how you can install Adobe Flash plugin in to your Tor Browser. As Tor Browser is design for full anonymity browsing in the World Wide Web, Flash plugin will reveal your IP address to the server so it defeats the idea of anonymous browsing. But I found Tor Browser is a great way to by pass QOS filtering or throttling by ISPs when watching online videos and most online videos are still delivered using Flash. So having a Flash plugin in your Tor Browser is still useful.

Warning

If you are using Tor Browser Bundle is mission critical to you and you are trying hard not to get tracked, please do not install Flash. Doing so will jeopardise your identity in the network.

This is how to install Adobe Flash plugin in to your Tor Browser Bundle.

Update [24 June 2015]

The new Tor Browser installation package already have the plugin installed with it. All you have to do now is to enable it.


Windows 7

  1. Copy all files in "C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash" folder in to your Tor Browser Bundle folder "\Tor Browser\FirefoxPortable\App\Firefox\plugins".
  2. Run or restart Tor Browser.
  3. Go to "Tools > Addons > Plugins".
  4. Enable "Shockwave Flash 11".
Note: Currently I only have solution for Tor Browser running on Windows 7 (I only run Tor Browser on Win 7). If you have solutions for other OS, please share. Thank you.

Mounting NFS share directory from D-link DNS 320L on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Image
Seems like the steps on how to get the NFS mount point from the D-Link DNS 320L NAS server were not properly documented in their user manual. After setting up and enabled the NFS service on the D-Link DNS 320L NAS server, I went ahead to setup and mount the share directory/folder in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS assuming the mount point in NAS was /Volume_1/... but that is not the correct mount point to start with! Found this answer from D-Link forum post from a member (ba43123) that helped me to correctly mount the NFS share directory/folder on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: After spending most of the last hour on the phone with D-Link Technical Support, I came away with the recommendation to take my Mac (which has successfully connected to a number of NFS shares in the past) to Apple to determine if the network settings for NFS are correct.  This is mostly due to the fact that the people who are taking the calls have no information about NFS in their scripts and Knowledge Base so they are at a total loss...
