Stop shipping /var/run/tor in the package. Only clean up permissions of /var/run/tor in postinst if the directory actually exists.
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
