Tor browser: play videos - how it works
Flash videos are usually blocked in the Tor browser. We show you how you can still play them. However, you should be aware that you will no longer surf anonymously during this time.
Play flash videos in the Tor browser
The Tor browser normally blocks the flash plug-in with the "NoScript" add-on, since it can endanger your anonymity on the Internet. However, you can temporarily deactivate it. Attention: Under certain circumstances you will then reveal your real IP address.
- Open the Tor browser and the desired website as usual.
- Click on the blue and white symbol with the "S" to the left of the address line.
- Select the menu item "Temporarily allow all this page". Now reload the page.
- Now the flash video should load. If you want to deactivate the permission again, simply click the icon again and select "Revoke Temporary Permission".
