anonymous web browseing useing tor on linux

TOR - the Onion router

I really love anonymity even for casual daily browsing, so here is a little howto setup tor on fedora core 6 machine. If 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 in there.

than 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 without problems.

That’s it.

Hi Valent, your link to the blog is busted, would you correct it?
