Re: [tor-talk] Proxy Use 101




It uses the http proxy if it's set and you've attempted an http
connection. If it's not set and you've attempted an http connection,
it falls back to the socks proxy.

If you're doing a non-http connection, it ignores your http proxy.

In the old model where you should use polipo, you would set your http
proxy to point to polipo and your socks proxy to point to tor. In the
new model where polipo isn't needed anymore, you should simply set your
socks proxy to point to tor.

Sorry. I don't understand. If I go to TorButton then Preferences then uncheck "use Polipo" all pages then time out (in Firefox). The SOCKS proxy does point to Tor. Using Polipo enables the pages to load as normal.

Am I doing something wrong?  Thanks.
