Comment:
Hi,
thanks for your input.
My initial documentation [1] was meant to be used for a "system tor"
setup. "system tor" is a tor instance that automatically starts as soon as
the system boots (or the user logs in).
Apparently Sukhbir changed it [2] to use port 9150 (default SocksPort
setting in current TBB).
So the question is: Do we want Windows users to use a Vidalia Bundle* (=
system tor) or TBB to get a running Tor instance?
I'm in favor of a system tor (via vidalia bundle) because the vidalia
interface of Vidalia Bundles has the setting 'Start Vidalia when my system
starts' - a setting which is not available in TBB's vidalia.
The Vidalia Bridge Bundle does start a SOCKS listener on *9050*.
*) we ask Win/OSX users to download the 'vidalia bundle', but the 'vidalia
bundle' seems no longer available, now there are the following bundles
available: 'Vidalia Bridge Bundle', 'Vidalia Relay Bundle' and 'Vidalia
Exit Bundle' but no 'Vidalia Bundle' (client only) as there was ones.
