Computer discussions| Tor on Ubuntu by Admin posted on 09/11/09-23:30:58 | |
| Time to get Tor working on Ubuntu Jaunty, the new release. I’ll be doing this on a pretty recent install. If you don’t know what Tor is, let me explain. Tor (The Onion Router) is a anonymity network, which is meant to make you more anonymous. Because of the way Tor works, people won’t get to know your original IP address if you set it up right. Please note that the government will still be able to monitor what you do, since they can monitor both sides of the connection. If you want to share files securely with high encryption, try Freenet. |

| Anyway, it’s time to get going. Add these lines to ‘/etc/apt/sources.list’ with your favorite text-editor. deb http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor jaunty main deb-src http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor jaunty main Next open the terminal and do the following to make sure the system sees the new repos as ‘trusted’. gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv 94C09C7F gpg --fingerprint 94C09C7F gpg --export 94C09C7F | sudo apt-key add - |

| And update with ’sudo aptitude update’. Now install Tor with ’sudo aptitude install tor’. Congratulations, you’ve just installed Tor! Now it’s time to make Tor work with FireFox. Install FoxyProxy and restart FireFox. Right click on ‘FoxyProxy: Disabled’ and then click on ‘Add new proxy’. Give it a name, like Tor, and click on the tab ‘Proxydetails’, the second tab. Since Tor is a SOCKS proxy working on localhost, select ‘SOCKS Proxy?’ and click on SOCKS 5. The IP address is 127.0.0.1 and the port is 9050. If you get questions from FoxyProxy about Tor, read the messages and select the default settings. | 09/11/09-23:32:05 By Admin #11 (Mod) |
| Remember to disable cookies, javascript, java, set the ‘offline’ buffer to 0 MB (Settings -> Advanced -> Network) and disable automatic update from FireFox (Settings -> Advanced -> Updates). You can enable and disable Tor by clicking right-clicking on ‘FoxyProxy: Disabled’ and select the Tor proxy. Make sure Tor is running, and if it’s not, go to the terminal and type ’sudo /etc/init.d/tor start’. To check if Tor works, go to http://torcheck.xenobite.eu/. For you really paranoid, Modify Headers is able to disable and edit some browser headers, like user-agent and referrer. |
