Hey guys, a few more questions for the experts:1) I noticed that the Tor-IM-Browser package uses GAIM, routed through SOCKS 5:9050. If I am using GAIM with TOR/Privoxy, should i set Gaim to use SOCKS 5:9050 or, or HTTP 127.0.0.1:8118 and routing it through privoxy?
No, Privoxy is an HTTP-Proxy AFAIK. GAIM uses XMPP (Jabber) as protocol, so Privoxy can probably not handle it. But if GAIM is not a patched version, I fear that there are many possible information leaks. For example when triggering a file transfer, the real IP address might be disclosed.
