Mageia forum

As the topic thread says I'm looking for some explanation to how to configure this program, I'm having some headaches try to run this program.

You can try:
1. Install Tor, Vidalia and Privoxy.
2. Open the Privoxy config file (as root) for editing config:

Code: Select all

su -
kwrite /etc/privoxy/config

(kwrite or gedit)
3. Comment out lines containing

'logfile logfile', 'jarfile jarfile',
'enable-remote-toggle', 'enable-remote-http-toggle', and
'enable-edit-actions' by prefixing their lines with a '#' character.

4. Add the following line to the config file:

Code: Select all

forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 .

5. Add user to group toruser (logout and login) and run Vidalia, change:

6. Stop autostart TOR (should start when start Vidalia) and restart the Privoxy services:

Code: Select all

chkconfig tor off
service privoxy restart

7. Configure browser (Opera)

and try https://check.torproject.org.



Good luck!

LOL You are amazing! i loved your reply! THanks

Marking as solved

This thread helped me get Tor going on my system. I had been confused by the different components needed I ( Tor + Privoxy + Vidalia ) and how to configure each one.

Is this a candidate for a "HowTo" ?

In step 3 the "jarfile jarfile" no longer seems to be in the config file (so no need to # it), but for the rest still up to date!
