Re: No torrc in xBBrowser
Curious, If you just download the source code from the xb browser page, you get all the build requirements and library and source, and even another program to configure it for tor to dump in the commands you would use in the torrc. Essentially the xB Config program parses and writes INI files, including the torrc commands. Things have changed _massively_ since a couple of years ago. I think I'll also put together an automatic build script for windows users in the next edition of source code.

Re: No torrc in xBBrowser
A couple of years ago, I was looking for how to use the torrc instead of the .ini file in order to bypass a firewall/proxy. The only answers I could find were something along the lines of "we can't tell you how to evade..." and "that's not why Tor was created." I even looked at the NSIS code using Notepad++ and saw where it was passing the arguments, but also realized that only a small part of it (the launcher) was open source. I got tired of messing with it and having it hang for a minute every time I tested it. I found things that worked much better for me. Anyway, how do you get it to use the torrc if we need to implement things from the Tor man page (rather than the Xerobank configuration file), and where should it be located for the Xerobank implementation to work? Also, telling us how to do all those lock-downs would be great for verifying if they work. Are they very different from the ones in TorButton?

H D, Interesting. Javascript disabled, I assume? Try registering now. Also worth mentioning is that the forum is in beta, and not publicly advertised yet, so such comments like yours help.

Re: No torrc in xBBrowser
Thank you. I have the Torbrowser but it did not work on my XP machine. Today I download the new and going to test. The Xerobank forum is impossible to register. I tried 3 times and always the error of no avathar but there is no avathar to choose. Not even with images enabled. To click a row in the list is obviously not enough to get an avathar.

Re: No torrc in xBBrowser
Don't bother with xBBrowser. It's got it's own setup and no documentation. If you need something that you can run from a USB drive, try The Tor Browser Bundle https://www.torproject.org/torbrowser/ Portable Tor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Tor Or build your own. :-) Here are some docs https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/Portable_Tor - Original Message From: H D <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: or-talk@freehaven.net Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 11:00:47 AM Subject: No torrc in xBBrowser I am running xBBrowser 2.0.0.15a and want to set entry and exit and other things in the torrc.

Re: Vidalia exit-country
Hi, Thank you for this GREAT feature :) I tried it on win XP (SP3) but the country flags never show up (even after a fdew hours running), and the same thing than Dawney: The dropdown list of countries contained one country only, named "(??)(597)" Seems that the GeoIP base is never loaded? I tried also after deleting all TOR files, no change.
Re: Vidalia exit-country
Hi Dawney If you have never run it before (or run it for a few days) the entries in the cache will be invalid. Leave it as is for about 30 seconds and the system will automatically refresh the entries once it has downloaded the geoip information from vidalia's geoip servers. If you still have problems, you can contact me offline to check what could be the cause of the problem. Just a little patiance (during startup) and thanks for giving it a try Camilo Dawney Smith wrote: Camilo Viecco wrote: As part of the 'google summer of code'(gsoc) I was able to add some of blossom's functionality to vidalia. The project consisted of adding a 'select exit by country' option to vidalia so that users could leverage the Tor network to select the 'perspective' of the network the wished to have. The idea is that many entities select their content based on the traffic ip address 'source' and users might like to have different perspectives easily controlled by them.

Hello ! I would like to know if it's possible to establish a keep-alive HTTP connection-type using Polipo with Tor. I'm currently using Privoxy with Tor, which can only provide close connection-type according to the HTTP Headers. Thanks !
