Tor gates can be quite slow. Here is a script to turn privoxy's tor
on/off easily. Can be used with sudo.


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>-privoxy.tor-<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
#!/bin/sh
# A script to turn tor sock4a in privoxy on or off.

CONFFILE=/etc/privoxy/config		# privoxy config file.
TOR_REG="forward.*localhost:9050"	# Regular expression open the tor in privoxy
PRIVOXY="/etc/init.d/privoxy restart"	# command to reload privoxy config file.
SED="/bin/sed"				# sed command, of course.
GREP="/bin/grep"			# grep command.

usage () {
echo "\
Usage: 
   privoxy.tor 			<-- No arguements. Switch the tor on or off.
   privoxy.tor [on|off]		<-- Set the tor on or off.
   privoxy.tor !.*xia		<-- Any arguement other than above shows
				    current status of the tor.
   privoxy.tor [-h|--help|-?]	<-- Print usage.
"
}

# Find out the current status of tor. Set $tor_status
get_status () {
   gret=`$GREP -l -e "^$TOR_REG"  $CONFFILE`

        tor_status=off;
   else
        tor_status=on;
   fi
   return
}

# Turn tor on/off according to $1
set_tor () {
   tor_gate=$1
   get_status
   if [ $tor_status = $tor_gate ] ; then
      echo "The tor is already $1."
      return
   elif [ $tor_gate = flip ] ; then
