How do I make kde4.8 use a socks5 proxy?
Hi all,
I'm trying to channel all my traffic through tor but KDE doesn't seem to recognize my proxy settings. To set up the proxy, I went to System Settings -> Network Settings -> Proxy -> Use manually specified proxy configuration and set the value of SOCKS proxy to socks://localhost, PORT to 9050. When I start chromium like so "chromium --proxy-server="socks://localhost:9050"" and visit https://check.torproject.org/ I can see that tor is running, but with the settings above it doesn't work.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

Thanks, I ended up using proxychains because I think it's newer than tsocks. I can now start programs as "proxychains firefox" and tor seems to be working well. I have yet to figure out how to automate this process.
