Further and more acurate test: aptitude install vidalia privoxy # choose "no configuration" 1st option aptitude install iceweasel iceweasel-torbutton # in case it's not there tor --hash-password FOOBAR # get tor hash password vi /etc/tor/torrc # enable ControlPort 9051 and paste hash password at HashedControlPassword /etc/init.d/tor restart /etc/init.d/polipo restart vidalia & # give FOOBAR as password .... probably connect to tor iceweasel & # enable plugin icon, and probably shows "Tor Enabled" curl ifconfig.me/ip # my dynamic ISP IP curl --socks5 localhost:9050 ifconfig.me/ip # my tor exit IP curl --proxy localhost:8118 ifconfig.me/ip # my dynamic ISP IP again??? curl --proxy localhost:8123 ifconfig.me/ip # my dynamic ISP IP again???
Neither polipo nor privoxy point to tor. Since iceweasel-torbutton config says "Enable polipo" and points http proxy at localhost:8118, but this is privoxy's default port, then possibly privoxy might forward to polipo's 8123 port, and polipo forward to tor's 9050: /etc/privoxy/config: # ... forward / localhost:8123 # ... /etc/pollipo/config: # ... socksParentProxy = "localhost:9050" socksProxyType = socks5 # ...
