If you're running Tor as shipped (i.e. you've not modified the config) then you can tell applications to use a SOCKS proxy on localhost port 9050. If you're running polipo then you might also have use of an HTTP proxy on port 8123. Tor itself isn't going to give you a secure connection though. It assists (a lot) with anonymity, but otherwise is only as secure as the protocol you use. If you use a plain text protocol (e.g. telnet) then your traffic can still be snooped. You need to use encryption *as well as* Tor if you want security. I'm sorry if the above seems too technical. Unfortunately both security and anonymity require some understanding of how things work. NB. You haven't said what system you're using. I'm a Linux user. Regards Julian -- 3072D/D2DE707D Julian Yon (2011 General Use) <pgp.2011@xxxxxx>
