Pacman behind TOR doesn't work
Hi guys,
I was following the brief hint here on the wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tor#Pacman
Unfortunately it doesn't work. I get this:
sudo pacman -Syy

error: database 'community' is not valid (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))I believe this is because TOR is too slow to catch up with CURL.
Is there a better way of doing this than the one suggested?
XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl --socks5-hostname localhost:9050 -C - -f %u > %oI tried -m 120 but the connection still resets every second; basically I just need CURL to wait until the file is found and downloaded and forget the 1-5 second timeouts since TOR is a high-latency network as it is.
Thanks.

Re: Pacman behind TOR doesn't work
Rather than -m are you sure the option you are not looking for is "--connect-timeout"? Also, whatever mirrors you have chosen may block tor (a lot of places do); so maybe try some different mirrors (this would be the first place I would look (make sure servers can be accessed through tor first)).

Re: Pacman behind TOR doesn't work
I tested with "--connect-timeout 120" and also manually going to some mirrors that I was using. It seems not too many are blocking TOR, unfortunately they are still timing out and the connect timeout feature isn't working with the current command:
XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl --connect-timeout 120 --socks5-hostname localhost:9050 -C - -f %u > %oIt still times out in less than 5 seconds. I also tried with --keep-alive 120 and some other variables but no luck ...

Re: Pacman behind TOR doesn't work
I found a working solution.
1) sudo pacman -S privoxy
2) sudo nano /etc/privoxy/config
Uncomment this line:
# forward-socks5 / 127.0.0.1:9050 .3) Uncomment the following line in /etc/pacman.conf -
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u4) sudo nano /etc/wgetrc and add this -
http_proxy = http://127.0.0.1:8118/
https_proxy = http://127.0.0.1:81185) sudo pacman -Syu and watch the updates from through TOR, also resolving .onion addresses which are listed under unofficial mirrors on the wiki
