Getting Started

Set up Dhurta like you mean it.

Six steps from install to a fully locked-down setup, illustrated with real screenshots of v1.0.8 where noted.

1. First Launch 2. Ghost Mode 3. VPN & Security 4. Anti-Fingerprint 5. Connect 6. Transparency
STEP 1

First launch

Dhurta opens straight to a New Tab with your Speed Dial — no setup wizard, no account prompt.

  1. Install and open Dhurta from the Start Menu or desktop shortcut.
  2. The sidebar on the left is your control surface — every icon opens a panel over the current page.
  3. Pin the tabs you use most from the Speed Dial tiles.
Tip — right-click any tab for duplicate, ghost-tab, or bookmark shortcuts.

STEP 2

Turn on Ghost Mode

Ghost Mode opens a session that lives entirely in memory — nothing written to disk, cleared the moment the tab closes.

  1. Right-click the + new-tab button, or use the tab context menu.
  2. Choose Ghost Tab.
  3. Browse as normal — the tab is tagged so you always know it's ephemeral.
Note — Ghost Mode now runs real Tor onion routing — verify it yourself at check.torproject.org from inside the Ghost tab.

STEP 3

Route through the built-in VPN

Dhurta ships a free built-in VPN with a server picker, plus Anti-Fingerprint and WebRTC blocking as separate toggles — or bundle all of it into one switch as Chakra Shield.

  1. Open the Security & VPN panel from the sidebar.
  2. Toggle Free VPN on and pick a server location.
  3. Toggle Anti-Fingerprint and Block WebRTC Leaks alongside it.
Tip — or skip the manual toggles entirely and switch to Chakra Shield from the Omni panel — same protections, one click.

STEP 4

Enable Anti-Fingerprint & WebRTC Block

Both are toggles in the same Security panel, and both are off by default — turn them on deliberately, based on your own risk tolerance.

  1. In the Security panel, switch on Anti-Fingerprint.
  2. Switch on Block WebRTC.
  3. Some canvas-heavy sites may behave differently with fingerprint noise on — see Troubleshooting if something breaks.
Heads up — these two settings change how pages see your browser. Test the sites you rely on daily after switching them on.

STEP 5

Pair two browsers with Connect

Connect moves sessions and data directly between two Dhurta installs — no server holds the payload in between.

  1. Open Connect from the sidebar on the first machine — it shows a 6-digit code.
  2. On the second machine, open Connect and enter that code.
  3. Once paired, choose what to send across.
Note — the code expires after a short window — regenerate it if the pairing times out.

STEP 6

Check the Transparency Dashboard

The eye icon in the sidebar opens a real-time readout of everything Dhurta has stored about you, locally.

  1. Click the Transparency (eye) icon in the sidebar.
  2. See real numbers: database size, browsing history count, bookmarks, loaded extensions, and every stored setting as raw key/value pairs.
  3. Click Export My Data (JSON) to take the whole thing with you.
Tip — this is also how you check that security toggles actually reset to false after a data wipe.
