No Connection with Tor
Hi,
I installed Tor and privoxy on my system and used the following doc: http://uckanleitungen.de/tor-privoxy/linux/
When I try to open a website, I get this error message:
503 Connect failed
Your request for http://google.de/ could not be fulfilled, because the connection to google.de (127.0.0.1) could not be established.
This is often a temporary failure, so you might just try again.
Any suggestions?

Re: No Connection with Tor
Check that the listening address in the privoxy configuration is set to localhost:8118.
Also try to start privoxy directly from the command line to see if it throws any errors due to a bad configuration, then if that works start tor from the command line as well and check for errors.
The following page may give you some hints as well: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tor

Re: No Connection with Tor
I don't get any error messages and all configurations files seem to be ok.
Maybe I get this error because I'm connected to the internet through ssh?

Hmmm, what exactly to you mean by that?

Re: No Connection with Tor
Our university provides the internet access for us and in order to use it, we have to install a client (windows) or use an ssh connection (linux).

Re: No Connection with Tor
Huh 
, I think that makes things a little complicated then, because you have to make tor use this SSH connection.
I guess you connect via a SSH tunnel. I think changing the local port you're tunneling to the port tor uses (9050 I think) could work.
EDIT:
Well I thought about it once again and I am not sure if that's the solution (you could try it though 
).
