hi after 5 months using ubuntu the first how to
be gentle with me !

=====================================
go to www.watismijnip.nl and write down youre ip ( you need it later)

$ sudo apt-get install tor privoxy

sudo gedit /etc/privoxy/config

and ad this line: " forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 . " (with the dot at the end)

then go to

https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&id=125

click on "install now" (62 kb file)

then firefox askes you to install now ? > click on install now

after the instalation you have to restart fire fox again.
Then go to extra > switch proxy > manage proxies > add > standard > next.

Then fill in:
Next enter the following information into both the http proxy and ssl proxy fields. Hostname: 127.0.0.1 port: 8118. Set up any proxy exceptions you may need and then click on ok.(do this also for the proxy label)

then choose in firefox > extra > switch proxy > preferences > and apply "show toolbar"

now the toolbar wil be shown in ff.
Choose proxy, your proxy server you just filed in: 127.0.0.1

for other proxys go to:

http://proxy.org/tor.shtml

then go to www.watismijnip.nl and look if youre ip is different from above !
Then it worked, else not you can put you're questions here below.

=====================================

hope it did work !

Cheers,

dutch.

Thanks Dutch, works great!

I wanted to use this to enable access to Pandora outside of the US also, so I added the following three lines to "/etc/tor/torrc"

StrictExitNodes 1
exitnodes
desync,whistlersmother,lefkada,bettyboop,croeso,To rLuwakOrg,nixnix,inap1,redpineapple,cronic,sasquat ch,slowturtle2

Then run "sudo /etc/init.d/tor restart"

This just forces TOR to make the last exit node in the US.

Dutch, can you add to the original HOWTO at the bottom so the info is all available in one place, I was going to post a separate HOWTO but this is the only change/addition so probably makes sense to keep it here and will save other people the time it took me to find and test.

I was wondering if anyone had a how to or knew how to setup a server for this. i.e. I have a Kubuntu server here in my house that currently does not do much. I would like to be able to have the rest of my client machines in the house connect to this server for the TOR client. Currently when I try and do it, it tells me that they are not allowed to proxy through it. Thanks for your help with this in advance by the way this HOW TO was great and the TOR client is running great.

Thanks Dutch!

I spent a few hours last night trying to figure this out. Glad I found this tutorial today before I punished myself further.

The site,
https://addons.mozilla.org/extension...firefox&id=125
doesn't work. Is there another one I can get?

[xyepblra]

I have upgraded my Intrepid Ibex to Jaunty Jackalope and now I cannot install tor under JJ. Can anybody tel me how to do that?

[Tressica]

How do you shut off Privoxy? It's messing with my email and I need it off NOW. Do I just run [killall tor] ?
