Re: HOW TO surf anonymous
Nice How-To
I've added it the Ubuntu Document Storage Facility :)
Re: HOW TO surf anonymous
Nice, Ive been using this for awhile now, never saw the list of ips though, thanks for the link.
You might add that it has other uses aswell, Tor can be used with gaim as a socks proxy which will also encrypt your IM's which is nice for using at public wireless hotspots.
Re: HOW TO surf anonymous
this is not working for me... my IP stays the same when I check it...
running tor from the command line I get...
Nov 27 02:54:03.704 [warn] /var/lib/tor is not owned by this UID (0). You must fix this to proceed.
Nov 27 02:54:03.704 [err] options_act(): Couldn't access/create private data directory /var/lib/tor
Nov 27 02:54:03.704 [err] init_from_config(): Acting on config options left us in a broken state. Dying.
what am I messing up?

If u go to : Fire fox > extra > do u see there SwitchProxy ?
go to preferences and choose : "Show Toolbar" > ok .
Ctr Alt Backsp, restart and then try again.
After choosing the Proxy in the Fire Fox Toolbar from Switch Proxy click on apply.
If that does not work try:
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/tor start
(with thanks to : AndEat)
Let me know if that works.
Re: HOW TO surf anonymous
My IP didn't change, but I solved in few steps:
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/privoxy/config
and I've added this line:
Code:
forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 .
(remember the dot at the end)
I've also commented this two lines to unable privoxy logging:
Code:
#logfile logfile
#jarfile jarfile
I saved the file and restarted privoxy:
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy restart
and finally it's working

Are you using sudo infront of tor? I think all that means is that the owner of the file is not you.
You do not need to use sudo, If your not using sudo and it still doesnt work then try this command from a terminal
Code:
sudo chown yourusername /var/lib/tor
and then try to rereun without using sudo
Re: HOW TO surf anonymous
Hmm? It does work for yo guys? I mean, I used to use Tor + Privoxy for a long time. But now it seem it is dead now.
Maybe my ISP banned those proxy's IPs...
Re: HOW TO surf anonymous
It has worked for me recently. Run then wait a few seconds and run tor, this may help if you get connected to a real slow tor node.
Also do you get the 404s from privoxy in your browser or do you get the web browser ones?
