TOR is a third party plugin, so you need to go direct to its maintainers. In any case, should you really trust advice from strangers on how to implement your security policies? I think this person is probably not asking about the TorChat plugin, but rather is asking how to configure Pidgin to connect through a Tor proxy server. ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

IRC TOR Proxy Settings
I'm unable to get Pidgin working with Freenode IRC using SASL/TOR with Pidgin. On AndChat the IRC client for Android, the settings are listed under SASL (I don't find any SASL in Pidgin, but when adding an IRC server account, there is in the Proxy tab and option TOR Privacy/SOCKS 5 so I am assuming that is the place. In AndChat what works is username (as normal), port 7000, SSL, and for server, the onion address p4fsi4ockecnea7l.onion -- that simple. But in Pidgin there are 3 tabs when adding an IRC account: Basic, Advanced and Proxy. What is confusing is that all 3 of these have boxes for username and two have host or server. Can anyone advise what the correct place to put the values is? 1. Basic tab boxes are: Protocol: IRC Username: my IRC registered username (nick) Server: p4fsi4ockecnea7l.onion Password: the registererd nick password 2. Advanced tab boxes are: Port: 7000 Username: my IRC registered username (nick) Use SSL: ticked (checked) 3. Proxy tab boxes are: Proxy Type: Tor/Privacy (SOCKS 5) Host: 127.0.0.1 (this is where the TOR daemon is listening) Port: 9050 Username: again my IRC registered username (nick) Password: again my username (nick) authentication password. I get an error message: Closing Link: gateway/tor-sasl/account (SASL access only) But I see no place in Pidgin that mentions SASL? ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Re: IRC TOR Proxy Settings
BitMessage spake unto us the following wisdom: I'm unable to get Pidgin working with Freenode IRC using SASL/TOR with Pidgin. What version of Pidgin are you using? IRC SASL was not introduced until 2.10.7. I suspect you are using an older version. Ethan ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

[Fwd: Re: IRC TOR Proxy Settings]
Back to the list... ---BeginMessage--- Hi, yes see my earlier reply just now, but .7 is not working well as all with freenode, it is giving all kinds of problems to login, but .3 just worked and worked (but no tor nor sasl of course). But i'd rather have a working pidgin on irc than nothing. now i'm with nothing due to countless errors e.g. incorrect password, e.g. ssl handshake failed... even when not using proxy tor nor sasl -- so if no one can help me debug this i'd rather go back to .3? thanks all help BitMessage spake unto us the following wisdom: I'm unable to get Pidgin working with Freenode IRC using SASL/TOR with Pidgin.
