Surf Anonymous using proxy Server

Surf Anonymous using privoxy on Windows


Running the Tor client on MS Windows

Download the stable version of the Windows bundle from Here
Run the downloaded vidalia-bundle-0.1.2.18a-0.0.14.exe

And Follow the process as given in screenshot below



















Configure your applications to use Tor

After installing Tor and Privoxy, you need to configure your applications to use them. The first step is to set up web browsing. If you're using Firefox (we recommend it), the Vidalia bundle installs the Torbutton plugin for you. Restart your Firefox, and you're all set:





Make sure it's working
Check to see that Privoxy and Vidalia are running. Privoxy's icon is a blue or green circle with a "P" in it, and Vidalia uses a small green onion to indicate Tor is running or a dark onion with a red "X" when Tor is not running. You can start or stop Tor by right-clicking on Vidalia's icon in your system tray and selecting "Start" or "Stop" from the menu as shown below:



=============================================================================

Installing Privoxy on Ubuntu

STEP 1

$ sudo apt-get install tor privoxy

STEP 2

$sudo gedit /etc/privoxy/config

and ad this line: " forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 . " (with the dot at the end and without doubble cote)

comment this two lines to unable privoxy logging:

#logfile logfile
#jarfile jarfile

saved the file

STEP 3

Restarted privoxy

$sudo /etc/init.d/tor

$sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy restart

STEP 4

Configure your network automatic Download tor button From Here

Or(if tor button is not installed)

configure your network to now use Tor and Privoxy.

That is a pretty quick setup for getting the engine to work, now to actually use it. This can be used globally if set in your network proxy config (System > Preferences > Network Proxy) or individually by program that allows proxy configuration.

Firefox Setup / Global Network Proxy Settings:

  1. Edit > Preferences > Advanced > “Connection”
  2. HTTP and SSL Proxy: localhost: 8118
  3. SOCKS Host: localhost 9050

Note if u want to change proxy address run sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy restart command on server
