tor not accepting connection

Today my tor did not work

The Browser is busy for some seconds, then tells me that the remote server needs too long to send an answer.
Disabling the proxy (I tried privoxy and polipo) changes that the browser immediately shows connection reset.
When the proxy is running but disabled in the browser directing the browser to localhost:8118 brings the proxy page so it is up and running.

Connecting to tor through the browser does work, it then says it's not a http proxy - right.
Even torifying directly does not work

[chris@chriseee ~]$ torify telnet google.de 80
Trying 209.85.229.104...
19:01:54 libtsocks(2312): SOCKS V4 connect rejected:
19:01:54 libtsocks(2312): SOCKS server refused connection
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

I removed tor with all config files and installed it again - same behaviour.

Any tips?

edit: It only does not work on my eee, on my mainpc tor + privoxy work.

Re: tor not accepting connection

I'm having this same issue. It just sprang up randomly and I have no idea why. Tor seems to work fine on my other machines, though none of them are Arch.

Re: tor not accepting connection

try vidalia from the aur

check the wiki's and be sure you have the right configs.

I could get and stay anonymous with privoxy+tor+vidalia via a browser (opera)

actually have you tried the torsocks  package?

If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Re: tor not accepting connection

The configs are on default. I haven't changed them, and I've watched Tor start without any errors. I've tried Firefox, Konqueror, and the command in the original post and they all hang. I tried Vidalia, and it gets stuck on "Establishing an encrypted directory connection".

Also for whatever it's worth, my machine isn't an eeepc, it's a desktop I built.

Re: tor not accepting connection

K thx.

I guess I'll just wait till it gets fixed (because the openssl patch fixed a security problem).

I probably did not reboot my PC but only suspended it so I guess I had it working with a not up-to-date openssl.

Re: tor not accepting connection

Thanks, rolling back SSL seems to have taken care of it.

Re: tor not accepting connection

I installed tor-git from aur: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28678
and because tor said tsocks leaks DNS data I installed torsocks-git as well: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30082

Now it works again without some security hole from old ssl.
