Vidalia is a cross-platform controller GUI for Tor, built using the Qt toolkit. It allows the user to start, stop, and view the status of Tor, monitor bandwidth usage, view, filter, and search log messages, and configure some aspects of Tor. Vidalia also makes it easier to contribute to the Tor network by optionally helping the user set up a Tor server.

Another prominent feature of Vidalia is its Tor network map, which lets the user see the geographic location of servers on the Tor network, as well as where the user's application traffic is going.

Since Tor is the onion routing network, it is appropriate that its GUI be named Vidalia, which is a kind of onion (see Vidalia onion).

Vidalia is released under the GNU General Public License. It runs on any platform supported by Qt 4.2, including Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux or other Unix-like variants using the X11 window system.
