Re: Proxies?

tor + privoxy

No need for AUR.

Re: Proxies?

You should start it by 'sudo /etc/rc.d/tor start' and same with privoxy. 

You could look at this:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Anonymity_ … nd_Privoxy
But I think everything is pretty much easy to configure.

You just need to make sure what your SocksPort is for tor and ports for Privoxy, then set them in Firefox or w/e application you want.

Btw, this is about the best anonymous combo I've seen, I tried it a while back and even places that said they detected proxies couldn't detect this.

Well, good luck.

Re: Proxies?

Thank you so much!

Kan you explain me how to put them in startup? I remember it was a file with "daemons" on the bottom. But I cant find it.

Add the daemon in the DAEMONS array of /etc/rc.conf

Re: Proxies?

Hmmm.. thank you

How am i gona have the daemons?

Is this one right:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng @network soundblaster crond portmap dbus hal fam onboardsnd alsa @openntpd gpm /etc/rc.d/tor start /etc/rc.d/privoxy start)

or this one:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng @network soundblaster crond portmap dbus hal fam onboardsnd alsa @openntpd gpm "/etc/rc.d/tor start" "/etc/rc.d/privoxy start") ?

Both are wrong.
Use this one:

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network soundblaster crond portmap dbus hal fam onboardsnd alsa @openntpd gpm tor privoxy)

You just have to put the name of the daemon script to have it start at boot up.

I've also remove the @ in front of network. Otherwise, it might try to start the proxy before the network is up and running.

Re: Proxies?

Thank you.. The problem is that using the commands tor and privoxy wont work.. Just getting errors about folders etc.. I have to use:
/etc/rc.d/tor start and /etc/rc.d/privoxy start

When you start them from the command line, you need to put the full path and explicitely use the 'start' argument. This is because /etc/rc.d is not included in the PATH variable and you need to tell the script what you want it to do (start, stop, restart, etc). The DAEMONS line in rc.conf is used explitely to start daemons at boot time. So it knows that the daemons for Arch are in the standard directory of /etc/rc.d and that it has to start the daemons.
