I would recommend using the full form in each of those above. There are apparently a few cases where the abbreviated form you show here will not work. Also, you might define ftp_proxy; otherwise FTP requests will go directly, instead of being blocked by privoxy. Or if you have something like 3proxy installed, you could set ftp_proxy to use that, but I don't see a very easy way to stop DNS query leakage if you do that. > >I also started working on a patch to nmap with Fyodor to work with SOCKS >proxies; it's in my (ioerror) svn branch on the nmap subversion server. >It sorta works but it's not great for anonymity because of the many >kinds of packets that nmap wants to send. > I think using nmap in the context of tor is really barking up the wrong tree.
