The program runs in Windows, OS X and Linux. The program offers several language options.
Vidalia will let you start and stop Tor, see how much bandwidth you are using, how many circuits are you using, and where are these circuits connected on a world map. It also provides a button that will show you the messages that Tor sends about its progress and current state. Through Vidalia you will be able to configure Tor settings.
