Firefox has a plugin that can take care of this switching and it is called Proxy Selector.Īfter installing the plugin you can add your new proxy. Changing the configuration can be a pain if you want to switch often between using the Tor proxy or not. Most browsers can be configured to use a proxy. If you want to use it chained with privoxy you have to switch to type 5. That’s all there is for getting Tor started.īy default, the Tor proxy is set to server type 4. Then set privoxy to chain the traffic to Tor To increase anonymity you should disable logging by commenting this line On a VM setup you can configure privoxy to listen on the public interface
The configuration of privoxy is done in /etc/privoxy/config. Installing privoxy on Ubuntu is straightforward It has some filtering capabilities but for this setup I’ll only use the proxying capabilities. I’ll use an Ubuntu 1214 vmware machine to proxy my traffic. There are Tor Bundles that you can install but you can also chain Tor through a proxy.
Tor protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, and it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location (from ).
