securitybreach Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Yes but how do the Tor Proxies affect your speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Slight slow down. Nothing drastic that I've noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 Tampa to Berlin DirectTampa to Berlin TorDefinitely some speed degradation. However, since I'm bouncing all over servers around the world to get from Tampa to Berlin, I guess that's to be expected. For just surfing, it's really not that noticeable; for downloading or streaming it might be, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 That is the reason I do not use Tor. I need all of my 22mb/s connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunrat Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 They're coming for you, Barbara... er, I mean Josh. MUAHAHAHA!So Tor can protect me from zombies?I always figured it was for secret stuff like warez, pron and terrorism plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 Pron? I guess I'll know it when I see it, huh? https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w...t_when_I_see_itI don't think Tor can protect you against zombies. This would be a more practical tool for that: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Well I now have Tor installed on Arch and I can launch it with the following command whenever I want to use it: ╔═ comhack@Cerberus 12:44 AM ╚═══ ~-> google-chrome --proxy-server="socks://localhost:9050" It is slow as crap but look, now I am in the Netherlands: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burninbush Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Oh, and for anyone interested...Tor On Slackware (and Arch) I'll just toss out that it's very easy to implement Tor with the Slax distro -- just visit their modules page and get one of the Tork modules -- already has everything gathered and tested together. Once working, it's easy then to remaster it to a new iso that will transport Tor wherever you want to take it [on cd or usbstick]. I also recommend the Torbutton extension for Firefox. I had troubles with it here regarding the pc's timezone settings -- I think following KDE 3.5's weirdness about timezone setting -- works here if I choose UTC for that setting. Also nice to locate a site like www.showmyip.com to prove to yourself that you really are cloaked. Works easily here on Slack-like stuff, and on XP, but I have yet to get it working on any Debian.

striker Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Ah .. the weather...http://knmi.nl/(needs javascript enabled at the first screen)Bad weather, cold, rainy. And that's just September 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 @ burninbush... yeah, SLAX modules are COOL! Oh, and the reason I didn't use the torbutton was just because I was trying to stay consistent. There is no torbutton extension for Seamonkey. However, Foxy Proxy works in both SM and FF. If you're not worried about Seamonkey, torbutton is the way to go in FF.@ Striker... well, needless to say, it's NOT cold and raining where I am... and won't be for another 4 months or so.

burninbush Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 tor? just remember, all ip traffic resolves to a mac address, that globally unique serial number identifying you and yours. google arp, for example.the only way to surf anonomously is to buy a laptop with cash, don't register it, don't log onto any of your accounts with it, use it far away from home, and disable it before bringing it and you back to the house.Good points, but isn't it fairly easy to use a fake mac address? I assume a person who was out to make trouble would know that. google "spoof your MAC address" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightsky Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) Woo-hoo! Got Tor working in Slackware (Firefox and Seamonkey) just now. I'll install it and set it up in Arch later this evening. Yippee! Ho ho ho, I am running slackware64 current 2.6.38.7 w firefox 8. Please share how you installed TOR on Slackware? I am stuck. So far addgroup & usr, install the libevent ver 2.0.10 slackbuild. Am stuck on whether or not to download & install tsocks an optional dependency for Torify Shell Script, since I read there is DNS Leak Bug associate with tsocks. Did you intall &/or use tsocks? Also I don't know what I am suppose to be checking regarding Readme.Slackware warning as follows: "As of tor-0.2.1.30-2 and later, I've updated Tor rc.tor init script to get rid of hardcoded values present inside torctl command script. To successfully use the newer script be sure to check changes to both /etc/rc.d/rc.tor.new and /etc/tor/torrc.new as some configurations values are now required and no longer passed on the command line." Any help is appreciated. Happy Holidays to All. Thank you Edited December 16, 2011 by Nightsky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightsky Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 He provided the link on post #15 above: Have those two links bookmarked already. Question is whether to use tsocks or not because of DNS leaking bug. Since tsocks is an optional dependency for Slackware if I opt not to install it do I have to change slackbuild script. 2nd Question how to handle the changes to rc.tor init script, /etc/rc.d/rc.tor.new, & /etc/tor/torrc.new referred to in the Readme.Slackware.

V.T. Eric Layton Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 Hi Nightsky! There are ways to work around the DNS leakage issue: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wi...ks.ShouldIworry As for the tor init script, what changes do you mean? I've never had a need to edit my torrc since initially installing the app. DISCLAIMER: I'm NO networking or tor guru by any stretch of the imagination.

Sorry I did not realize what you were asking before you added the details, hence the answer I gave. I am not that familiar with Slackbuilds as I have not use Slackware in a while but we do have some "Slackers" around here that should be able to help you out.
