anonymous web browsing using TOR on linux

       

I really love anonymity even for casual daily browsing, so here is a little howto setup TOR on fedora core 6 machine. I will try to update this howto for Ubuntu because I have it running on my home machine.

yum install tor privoxy

Then edit  /etc/privoxy/config
and add the following line:

forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 .

Mind the dot at the end of the line, don’t drop it, it has to be there.

Just start both services

/etc/init/tor start
/etc/init/privoxy start

Now download Firefox extension Torbutton and enjoy.

If you have some problems check out the documentation, but I have firewall and adsl modem and everything worked out without any problems.

That’s it.

   K vragu, pa ako trosis Firefox sigurno ti je crveno potcrtao “browseing” i “useing”. To je osnovnoskolsko gradivo da “e” nestaje te da se pise “using”, “browsing”!

   Pa i nije pošto Fedora ekipa ne želi Firefox 2.0 dok ne dođe Fedora Core 7; kažu da im je to previše posla. A i nakucao sam u brzini, za vrijeme posla :)
   Poslije posla tek gledam kakve sam pravopisne gluposti sve napisao :)

   A i nije “potcrtao” već podcrtao po novom pravopisu :)
