Vidalia exit-country

[Camilo Viecco <cviecco@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Maillist

As part of the 'google summer of code'(gsoc) I was able to add some of blossom's functionality to vidalia. The project consisted of adding a 'select exit by country' option to vidalia so that users could leverage the Tor network to select the 'perspective' of the network the wished to have. The idea is that many entities select their content based on the traffic ip address 'source' and users might like to have different perspectives easily controlled by them.
 
The project added a new 'tab' on the vidalia's settings window where users can select a country from where they want to 'exit'. Users can also select  countries they would like to avoid. There is no Tor version prerequiste to use this tool.

This exit aware vidalia version has been tested on windows xp(mingw), linux (2.6-386) and OsX(leopard-ppc) with both Qt 4.3.5 and 4.4.1.


Binary packages from windows(Thanks to Matt Edman) are available at:

  http://vidalia-project.net:8001/vidalia/vidalia-0.1.8-svn-exit-country.exe
  http://vidalia-project.net:8001/vidalia/vidalia-0.1.8-svn-exit-country.exe.asc


Unix tarballs are available at:

http://www.vidalia-project.net/dist/exit-country.tar.gz
http://www.vidalia-project.net/dist/exit-country.tar.gz.asc


The source code can also be downloaded from the vidalia svn by doing:

svn co https://svn.vidalia-project.net/svn/vidalia/branches/exit-country exit-country-vidalia


Building instructions and prerequsites are the same as vidalia.  The
build requires cmake and qt.
The complete build instructions can be found at:

Have a nice summer
