Doesn't tor interfere with tor-browser-bundle while running?
AFAIK it does. TBB launches it's own TOR listener.
No. TBB is self contained and is prepared not to interfere with any other Tor
session running, You might have to configure somehting anyway.
VPN?
how i install tor for being able to use it as a proxy? because i just se the
tor browser in the tor project web
apt-get install tor
TOR starts it's own service listening on port 9050 - that's your SOCKS 5
proxy.
You can also use Vidalia (GUI) or tor-arm (console) to manage it.
alsoe it doesnt let me use pidgin.
I use my college internet and it blocks lots of web pages, how can i by pass
this pain? i use my own notebook.
Try out Tor:

Once you managed to connect to the tor network, there is no possibility for
them to restrict you.
Perhaps you want to set ClientOnly = 1 in your torrc since the college
network usage conditions might not allow you to run
i downloaded the tor browser but that just allow me to use the tor browser,
it doesnt let me use pidgin. it asked me questions like if i need a proxy,
like which ports are not blocked. if it use a firewall... now i can use the
web freely but not pidgin
You can use smth like Jappix with TorBrowser. Other way is to install TOR and
use it as proxy (Pidgin supports SOCKS proxy), or just start pidgin as
torify pidgin.
If you can reach the blocked sites by their IP, then you could just use
another DNS provider. However whatever technical measure you use,
circumventing some censorship measure might get you in hot water with the
management...
