Now you need to extract the 7-Zip self-extracting archive into the folder where you want Tor to operate from. This can be anywhere, of course.
You need to wait now! You’ll be seeing the Vidalia Control Panel on your screen. Vidalia is a cross-platform controller for the Tor software. This piece of software is responsible for creating the global relay circuit and to connect you to the Tor network. It also lets you configure your Tor client, bridge, or relay with a simple interface.
You’re now connected to the Tor network! This window is considered to be an ungovernable space where web users can surf with complete anonymity. As long as all your surfing is done from here, your identity online is protected.
As you can see below,
