we run as root. Do not set it when run as debian-tor as Tor then always insists on changing users which will fail. (If we run as any other user we don't set our debian defaults anyway.) svn:r18397
Tor only provides TCP layer anonymity. It does not do any protocol cleaning, so if you are going to browse the web you still give away a lot of information to servers. The privoxy package provides a privacy enhancing HTTP proxy, which is good at filtering headers, cookies, and much more. To view the description of the Debian privoxy package just run "apt-cache show privoxy". Please refer to the privoxy documentation for more details. In order to use privoxy over tor, add the following line to your privoxy configuration file: forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 . (the dot is important) Then configure your browser to use privoxy as its HTTP proxy. -- Peter Palfrader <weasel@debian.org>, Tue, 17 Feb 2004 02:15:36 +0100
