This will reveal your non-Tor IP address. You should be very careful when downloading documents via Tor (especially DOC and PDF files) as these documents can contain Internet resources that will be downloaded outside of Tor by the application that opens them. Don’t open documents downloaded through Tor while online: The Tor Browser will warn you before automatically opening documents that are handled by external applications.However, you should still watch the browser URL bar to ensure that websites you provide sensitive information to display a blue or green URL bar button, include in the URL, and display the proper expected name for the website. To help ensure private encryption to websites, the Tor Browser includes HTTPS Everywhere to force the use of HTTPS encryption with major websites that support it. Use HTTPS versions of websites: Tor will encrypt your traffic to and within the Tor network, but the encryption of your traffic to the final destination website depends upon on that website.Similarly, we do not recommend installing additional addons or plugins into the Tor Browser, as these may bypass Tor or otherwise harm your anonymity and privacy. Don’t enable or install browser plugins: The Tor Browser will block browser plugins such as Flash, RealPlayer, Quicktime, and others: they can be manipulated into revealing your IP address.
