ROFL! Thank you for that Expert. I'm gonna go now, I'm inventing a new encryption. TTYL.

The NSA already had the general keys to crack the encryption of Vidalia and TOR as well as of TrueCrypt. TrueCrypt is a us-Program and has backdoors for the us-secret-services. And the NSA is also already in Linux. Have you ever heard about SE-Linux? If not, then look here: http://www.nsa.gov/research/selinux/ Or also inside your Synaptics. So these encryptions are no longer secure as the NSA owns the general keys and is in this way able to read and enter all our files inside our computers, Smartphones, Tablets and Notebooks. So TOR and all these encrypted communications are no longer secure. That's the real problem behind it. So I think, the best way is, to invent a completely new encryption, which the NSA could not hack. And the other thing is that NSA is already boosting up its serverfarms with new datacenters in Utah with a capacity or more than 5 Zettabyte (that's about 5 Millions harddiscs of 1 Terabyte!)!!

Thats not working and the vidalia log says: Jan 04 12:45:00.705 [Hinweis] Tor v0.2.2.35 (git-73ff13ab3cc9570d). This is experimental software. Do not rely on it for strong anonymity.

Jan 04 12:45:00.706 [Warnung] /var/run/tor is not owned by this user (user, 1000) but by debian-tor (117). Perhaps you are running Tor as the wrong user? Jan 04 12:45:00.706 [Warnung] Before Tor can create a control socket in "/var/run/tor/control", the directory "/var/run/tor" needs to exist, and to be accessible only by the user account that is running Tor. (On some Unix systems, anybody who can list a socket can conect to it, so Tor is being careful.) Jan 04 12:45:00.706 [Warnung] Failed to parse/validate config: Failed to bind one of the listener ports. Jan 04 12:45:00.706 [Fehler] Reading config failed--see warnings above. So, starting terminal and use "sudo vidalia" works, but I feel a bit unhappy with runnig tor as root. As sudoer there are no problems with tor and port binding as far as I can see. I wide sense this affecting security. I going to enable the ckeckbox for this.
