Can't get tor to work
Hello!
I'd like to use tor so I installed it on my FreeBSD 4.11 following the
instructions. As suggested, I additionally installed privoxy and made all
necessary configurations.
Then I start both programs by just typing the following commands:
privoxy
tor --datadirectory /var/db/tor --user _tor --group _tor --clientonly 1 -l
info
Both basically startup correct. Using netstat I can see the listening sockets
and an initial connection to any directory server, e.g.
tcp4 57920 0 xx.xx.xx.xx.3871 18.244.0.188.9031 ESTABLISHED
Tor itself says the following:
**********

not rely on it for strong anonymity.

If I connect through privoxy with a browser, tor states this:
**********

Jul 21 12:57:35.426 [info] connection_add(): new conn type App, socket 5, nfds

Jul 21 12:57:35.534 [info] connection_dir_finished_connecting(): Dir

**********
And nothing else happens. After a while privoxy times out and sends an error
message 404 back to the browser.
I thoroughly read through the FAQ, the installation instructions, and also
tried to find some hints in the Internet, with no results.
Then I tried to manually download a cached-directory file from a directory
server and copied it to the appropriate location and started tor again. It
seems to use it and opened a lot of TCP sessions (I can watch this with
netstat) to some onion routers but they seemingly don't like my connections.
See the following log snippet:

Is there anybody who could help me?
