Howto: Chromium+tor+polipo

[art2003]

Tested with Ubuntu 12.04

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser tor polipo

Now edit /etc/polipo/config
and add:

socksParentProxy = "localhost:9050"
diskCacheRoot = ""
disableLocalInterface=true

Now when you want to be on tor launch it with:

chromium-browser --proxy-server="127.0.0.1:8123;https=127.0.0.1:8123;
socks=127.0.0.1:8123;sock4=127.0.0.1:8123;
sock5=127.0.0.1:8123,ftp=127.0.0.1:8123" --incognito check.torproject.org

You can put that line inside a bash script or in a launcher

Doesn't work for me, after following your steps Chromium says it is not using Tor network. Could you help me find where the problem might be? Thanks in advance

// update: Everything is OK after restart, my fault. Thanks for your work
