Hi, I wanted to get tor for use on IRC, but it seems prohibitively difficult to set up. And I'm a programmer!
There's this tor browser bundle that I guess is supposed to make it super easy to use, except I already have firefox, I don't want to download another copy of firefox and set that all up. Then there's a torbutton on the firefox plugins page, but that's confusing because I thought you had to have "vidalia" and "privoxy". And then I really want to use opera irc. That's what I have installed. I see no reason to use any particular browser or irc client with something like tor. So what I'd really like is a windows driver and control panel that hooks into the outgoing internet, can be turned on and off, and intercepts all traffic. No wondering about dns leakage or anything else. I don't really want to run a proxy server and then run vidalia to put things through the proxy server and then run a special version of a browser, etc., etc.. Anyway, just my two cents. - Peter
