Peter Palfrader f968d38f3e Previously our defaults for DataDirectory, PidFile, RunAsDaemon, and
Log differed from upstreams.  Now Tor behaves just like before (with
our own DataDirectory and all) only when run as the debian-tor user.
If invoked as any other user, Tor will behave just like the pristine
upstream version.

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.
