-Quickstart version for users:
-
--1) If you don't have libevent, install it. Source is at
- http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ .
-0) Download the absolute newest version. No, really.
- http://tor.eff.org/dist/
-1) tar xvf it, and then cd into the directory.
-2) ./configure
-3) make
-4) make install (as root if necessary)
-5) tor (if it doesn't work, give it the whole path or fix your path)
- You don't need to run this as root, and you probably shouldn't.
- (If you're having problems, try running it with "-l info" to get
- more details.)
-6) point your browser to socks4 or socks5 proxy at localhost port
- 9050. In mozilla, this is in edit|preferences|advanced|proxies. This
- allows you to test to make sure Tor is installed correctly.
- (If you have a personal firewall, be sure to allow local connections
- to port 9050.)
- (If your firewall blocks outgoing connections, punch a hole so it
- can connect to TCP *:9001-9004 and *:9031-9033)
- (If you're using Safari as your browser, keep in mind that OS X before
- 10.3 claims to support socks but does not. You must do step 8.)
-7) make sure you've set it up correctly: go to
- http://www.junkbusters.com/cgi-bin/privacy and see what IP it says
- you're coming from. If it works, you should probably go on to step 8,
- to get better privacy.
-8) Optionally, install privoxy (www.privoxy.org), and add the line
- "forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 ." (without the quotes -- don't forget
- the dot) to its config file. Then change your mozilla to http proxy
- at localhost port 8118 (and no socks proxy). You should also set your
- SSL proxy to the same thing, to hide your https traffic. Using privoxy
- will give you good html scrubbing as well.
