How to use Tor on Ubuntu?

We suggest static the IP of that system in the router.
After installing Tor and contracting it at system runtime services, you should open its configuration file and look for SocksPort 127.0.0.1:9050.

Then change it to SocksPort 0.0.0.0:9050.

Now you need to restart the Tor service once to apply the changes.

Note that if you have a firewall on the system, add port 9050 to the firewall.

From now on, Tor will be available on socks with the IP of that system and port 9050. 

For example 192.168.1.10:9050

If you have a static IP for that network, you can put the IP of that system in the DMZ or modem forwarding port and connect to it anywhere through the Internet.
