number of system-wide available file descriptors: /proc/sys/fs/file-max is bigger than 100k, set ulimit -n to 32k, if it's smaller than 20k set it to 1024. Big servers at the moment regularly use more than 10k FDs, so our old default of 8k no longer is sufficient. On the other hand we don't want lower end systems to run out of FDs on Tor's account. svn:r13625
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
