Some times ago I got stuck in a similar problem: privoxy didn't restart cleanly and I keep wondering what the hell was that internal error, a quick netstat showed me that the torbutton chosen proxy wasn't up and running. Maybe this is not your case, but I'd check out if the proxy is running when I get internal errors. ciao - -- Marco Bonetti Slackintosh Linux Project Developer: http://workaround.ch/ Linux-live for powerpc: http://workaround.ch/pub/rsync/mb/linux-live/ My GnuPG key id: 0x0B60BC5F -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkr/uBIACgkQTYvJ9gtgvF8d5wCgl0PHoPTfvrYJH+SfGiQ9ONB0 pk4AoKexM3DpivEDqVHyW4lwHXqKhMe8 =8t3q -END PGP SIGNATURE- *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/

I seem to remember running into this when there was an issue with the system time, but that's not the case here. What's the next place to look? Sounds like the following OpenSUSE packaging bug still hasn't been fixed: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=2783703group_id=8atid=28 You are most likely getting the internal error because Privoxy is configured to use an improperly populated chroot directory, so it can't access its template files. If that's the case, you are probably also looking at the wrong log file. I'd suggest you file a bug report with OpenSuSE. Fabian signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: directory server tor.dizum.com
I restarted the fw/ rules and tor, does it work now ?

Re: all traffic through a VPN on top of tor, done!

If so, go to proxy.org, find an https:// or vpn-based provider and enjoy your encrypted protection against your local ISP seeing your destination. You have a point, that is something I could do probably, but so far all ssl proxy I have seen, are actually websites with a form. I need to use the proxy from the command line and pipe a ssh connection through it. If you actually want anonymity, then use Tor as is, for it's designed to provide anonymity online by default. That is why am glad my script has tor support now. Anonymity is there. It's just really slow. :-) I added tortunnel support as well, which is probably slower than those websites but serves the purpose. I am pretty happy with the result. I'll be posting a link as soon as I have it online, if someone needs it. It's just a nice script for a vpn on top of ssh, even if you don't need tor. Yes, but back to my thread hijack :) Let's say my protection model does indeed require Tor, but at the same time requires more speed. Forcing Tor to only use fast nodes probably doesn't work, since those fast nodes are probably inundated just like the slow ones are. This also suggests that organic growth in the Tor network is not going to solve much of the speed problem in the near term... existing users will certainly use more and more traffic. But lets say one sets up X Tor nodes in X different locales and configure my Tor to use one of those X for my entry, and one of those X for my exit ... I'm still throttled by my middle hop, but the odds are much higher in my favor, and I may only need to rebuild my connection once or twice to get an acceptable speed. The question is, what values of X are required in order for correlation, etc., to not be laughable ? (the assumption here is that I put my X Tor nodes on the actual Tor network, but reserve some percentage of their bandwidth exclusively for my own use ... so they look and act like actual Tor nodes ...) *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/ *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
