[SOLVED] yaourt with tor

Hi!!!
I've configured pacman to use tor setting:

XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl --socks5-hostname localhost:9050 -C - -f %u > %o

but how can I use yaourt with tor and privoxy?

Re: [SOLVED] yaourt with tor

Have a look at /etc/makepkg.conf

Re: [SOLVED] yaourt with tor

edoz90:
I hope you do realize that by using pacman with TOR you're:

• Putting pointless traffic to the TOR network.

• Leaking your identity.

With yaourt you'll make it even worse.

For the sake of providing information on configuring yaourt and makepkg in other situations, in addition to what ugjka has said:
man makepkg.conf
DLAGENTS
VCSCLIENTS

Re: [SOLVED] yaourt with tor

I know that using tor is not a great idea with yaourt but I'm italian so I can't download popcorntime from AUR and since I'have tor and privoxy already configured... I though to use what I have to upgrade popcorntime.

In makepkg.conf I set:

DLAGENTS=('ftp::/usr/bin/curl --socks5-hostname localhost:9050 -fC - --ftp-pasv --retry 3 --retry-delay 3 -o %o %u'
          'http::/usr/bin/curl --socks5-hostname localhost:9050 -fLC - --retry 3 --retry-delay 3 -o %o %u'
          'https::/usr/bin/curl --socks5-hostname localhost:9050 -fLC - --retry 3 --retry-delay 3 -o %o %u'
          'rsync::/usr/bin/rsync --no-motd -z %u %o'
          'scp::/usr/bin/scp -C %u %o')

Thank you both for the answers
