How to setup Tor and Privoxy in Ubuntu Feisty Fawn
|
|
Tor is a free implementation of anonymity network which protects your privacy over the internet. Tor enable this by providing virtual tunnel to internet application through SOCKS interface. This post will show you how to setup and use Tor to connect to internet anonymously.
-
First of all you need to install tor and privoxy package
apt-get install tor
apt-get install privoxy
- Then you need to edit privoxy config file for some quick setup,
gksudo gedit /etc/privoxy/config
- You need to comment "logfile logfile" line and add this line at the end of the file
forward-socks4a/localhost:9050 .
- Save the file and restart privoxy service.
sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy restart
- You should be able to connect through Tor by using application which supports SOCK 4a/SOCK 5 interface with port 9050.
Here's a screenshot of Mozilla Firefox and Gaim setup to use Tor
You can access those screen through Edit->Preference->Advanced->Network->Settings in Mozilla Firefox and Account->Advance Tab in Gaim/Pidgin. Other application which supports SOCK 5 can be configured similarly to connect through Tor (including Xchat irc client and other internet browser)
Other Operating System
Tor (and Privoxy) is also supported on other operating system including Windows, Mac OS and other Unix-like operating system. Please refer to Tor Download page for instructions to use tor on those system

[...] This is another tool for people requiring anonimity in web browsing and other online task. Tor and privoxy are free software tools available to them now. We tested tor and privoxy earlier and confirmed the anonimity it has done to packets coming from the workstation. Below is the test we have done.Note the IP address of the local provider below. This is the setting sent to the local modem.Using privoxy now identifies the workstation as somebody Another test still confirms the new address we got.Network performance is slower than the usual browsing without tor.For Ubuntu Gnu/Linux, you can install tor and privoxy using the steps below:1. apt-get install tor2. apt-get install privoxy3. vim /etc/privoxy/config4. find the line “logfile logfile”. add the line below after it.5. forward-socks4a/localhost:90506. Restart the service 7. sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy restartyou can use tor with the SOCKs proxy enabled on your browser using localhost and port 9050.follow screenshots here [...]

[...] Jag antar att du syftar p? att vara anonym p? n?tet? I s? fall s? ?r ett s?tt att du tar och installerar tor + privoxy. Det kommer f?rmodligen orsaka att det inte g?r lika fort n?r du surfar, d? du routar igenom massa andra datorer f?rst innan du "g?r ut" p? n?tet. Vidare har detta inget med OS att g?ra, d? detta g?r att anv?nda i windows ocks?. Om det var n?got annat du syftade p? s? f?r du specificera dig lite mer tror jag. :/ L?nkar till Tor och privoxy: Tor: anonymity online http://www.privoxy.org/ Jag hitta till och med detta med lite google s?kning.

This is wrong
9050 is for tor not privoxy, you just wasted your time.
April 30th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
Yes, port 8118 instead of 9050 is the correct, isn’t it? At least 8118 works for me, and 9050 doesn’t. Now I need to look how to get it working from a remote box..
July 15th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
Tor is not an http proxy, so to browse correctly with tor you have to add in the first line:
localhost and port 8118 using privoxy as a filtering proxy.
Port 9050 is for all other apps not using http protocol: irc, pidgin, utorrent, amule, azureus, ecc
localhost socks 5 and port 9050
