that actually is the running tor when we try to stop or reload the daemon using the init script. If the process is called tor, running as debian-tor, and the pid file agrees to then it probably is the Tor you want to stop (closes: #491246). svn:r16035
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
