I think you meant 9050, not 5090. Also, you shouldn't be using Tor directly as a SOCKS proxy: doing so can leak information via DNS requests. (See http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#SOCKSAndDNS .) Instead, you should point your web browser at an HTTP proxy like privoxy, and tell the proxy to use SOCKS4a to connect to Tor. For instructions on this, see http://tor.eff.org/cvs/tor/doc/tor-doc.html#client Please don't hesitate to ask us any more questions that you may have. Yours, -- Nick Mathewson
