Pidgin with TOR
hi all, i am using the pidgin with ubuntu. and i installed TOR as well. i want to set up TOR to one of the yahoo accounts in pidgin. so i went to proxy settings and changed the gnome proxy setttings into socks5 and host 127.0.0.1 and port 9050. but each time i restart pidgin the yahoo account wont' start. i think its may be due to yahoo email is opened? how can i solve the problem? thank you very much. *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/

Port 9050 is your web proxy (probably Polipo). Pidgin wants to use a Socks proxy, so you should set the port to 8118, which is where Tor itself is listening.

Um... 9050 is TOR and SOCKS5. 8118 is Privoxy and HTTP. see: http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorifyHOWTO/InstantMessaging and/or http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/quickstart.html His problem is more likely due to Yahoo changing their protocol and breaking Pidgin yet again. It happens quite regularly. One of the many reasons I stopped using Yahoo.

Regards, Freemor I'm using 127.0.0.1:9050 globally on Pidgin with Tor and have only issues with AIM (tells me my IP has been connecting and disconnecting too much and won't let me sign on). Not sure what problems the OP is having as one of my 10 accounts is a Yahoo account. Sometimes it takes a while to connect, but otherwise it's fine. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

As it says on the second part of https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorifyHOWTO/InstantMessaging#Pidgin if you want Pidgin to work with a specific account, go to Accounts (in Pidgin) and modify the proxy settings there. The GNOME proxy settings will not work for this. The screen capture on that wiki page is out of date - i am uploading a new one now. Also, the link you quoted in your other message is out of date - we do not use the wiki on noreply.org anymore. *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/

Yahoo instant messaging on Pidgin under Ubuntu seems to work via Tor with socks5 (at least i can see my buddies). *** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talkin the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/

Location privacy preserving location based service with Tor
Dear All, We integrated Tor with a location based service to implement a location privacy preserving location based service. 1. Tor is used to hide the identity (IP) of a user, who sends her location to a location based service server for points of interest. Hiding IP is also necessary for hiding the user location since IP may imply the user's location. 2. Of course, the user's location coordinates are also perturbed to hide her exact location. Here is the link of the software: http://www.seas.gwu.edu/~nzhang10/cap/cap/Welcome.html. The paper is here: http://www.seas.gwu.edu/~nzhang10/cap/cap/Welcome_files/paper.pdf. Happy new year!

This depends upon which version of pidgin you have. It seems the 2.6 series relies on the GNOME proxy configuration variables, rather than pidgin maintaining its own config. In gnome, if you go to the System menu, and choose Preferences, do you have a Network Proxy option?

Until today I had no problems with Yahoo, and I think it's just because of the exit node (not sure where it is, don't really care). Sometimes I'd get kicked out during login but once logged in, it worked just fine. AOL doesn't like Tor, I think. I have constant problems with AIM and ICQ no matter what proxy settings I use. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
