Re: [tor-talk] Firefox with Torbutton started hanging - what can I do?
In re https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2011-August/021022.html I was able to create a new firefox profile, install Torbutton to that profile, enable it successfully and connect to the sample hidden Tor website. Now, how can I fix my old Firefox profile, or should I just use that profile only when I want my bank to recognize me, for example. David Carlson I think that's a good idea in general. Use one profile for work and banking, stuff the government is going to know about anyway if they want to. Use a distinct profile for politics. Cookies can carry all sorts of interesting information back and forth, correlating your activities and identity, otherwise. -- Jack Waugh ___ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk

What about user-IDs, ownerships, and permissions? If it works when you launch it one way but not another way, that's something that would occur to me.

Re: [tor-talk] Hijacking Advertising to give a Tor Exit node economic sustainability?
There's no way that would fly. People who are willing to buy advertising placements would not ever understand what Tor is and what audience size they could expect. Moreover, they would not want to participate in a scheme to substitute their ads for ads by others. They would have the feeling that the establishment would think of a way to bite them back for anything that interferes with its normal operation (advertising and brainwashing people). -- Jack ___ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk

[tor-talk] Request for Help Configuring Torbutton for Remote Polipo
I want to run Polipo on a "server" machine and Firefox with Torbutton on distinct client machines not having Polipo or Tor loaded on them. How do I set it up? I tried it with Polipo listening on its default port of 8123. I set Polipo's proxyAddress = "0.0.0.0" so it would listen to requests I set its allowedClients = 127.0.0.1, 192.168.2.0/24 since my client machine is in the latter network. These settings sufficed to allow me to brows to Polipo's manual from the client machine (before I loaded TorButton). So with TorButton I tried configuring its SOCKS, http, and SSL proxy settings to point to the server machine and port 8123, but its test failed. So what is the right way to set it up, and please explain the underlying logic. Thanks in advance. -- Jack Waugh ___ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
[tor-talk] Torbutton Tells Firefox to Ban Browsing to Port 8123 -- Pain!
Even when Tor is disabled via Torbutton, Torbutton repeatedly changes Firefox settings in such a way that I can't browse to port 8123, which is the default port for Polipo. I would really like to use the browser to see Polipo's manual, so this is to protest against this feature of Torbutton.
