Vmess Tor Proxy from Windows — Tor Browser

The standard way to use Tor with a pre-proxy is to configure Tor Browser to use a proxy server. Here you install a Shadowsocks, ShadowsocksR, or V2Ray client on your PC. The SS/SSR/V2Ray client points to a remote server. You then configure Tor Browser to use the proxy running on localhost (127.0.0.1).
