Greetings,
I'm a newbie in Onionland—I installed TBB on my Linux machine 2 days
ago—and I have a question:
My computer is old and I can't afford to run Firefox non-stop, so I close
it when I don't use it and leave Vidalia running (I have a relay set up).
When I try to run Firefox again from "tor-
It is really weird, that Vidalia closes by default, when you close Firefox.
There is no option to change that. It does not make sense, if people are
expected, to enable contributing to the Tor network using Vidalia. No one can
be expected to leave Firefox running 24/7. Do we have a ticket about

Can you expand this please? Odd state in sense of no functionality or negative
implications on anonymity?

Hi All;
Hmm... I'm a bit sad to hear that because it's very inconvenient for some
of us to run Firefox 24/7 just because we'd like to help the network with
relaying. Perhaps in the future you will make it a bit more user-friendly
in this regard.

OK, I just tried this and it
I'm sorry because I haven't read the entire conversation up until now, but
if people are using Ubuntu, what is stopping them from doing
sudo apt-get install tor;
configuring relaying in torrc and using the Firefox/Aurora/whichever
browser from TBB (would need to change the listen port, etc.)

Will conflict with Tor Browser Bundle. (SocksPort on same port.)

Vidalia was made for
Ok, understandable.
then again, SocksPort is just one line.. I mean one could write a simple
script and publish it for such users (which I might do in order to stop
this drooling of mine);
one finds the line, and changes the port number. Problem #1 solved?
For relaying, it is a matter of uncomme

Just a correction: On OS X 10.6.8 Vidalia remains open when I quite

I think this should work:
1) Remove the lines:
BrowserDirectory=.
BrowserExecutable=firefox
from Data/Vidalia/vidalia.conf
2) Add the line
SocksPort 9050
to Data/Tor/torrc
3)./App/Firefox/firefox -P no-remote
and create and run a new profile with Data/profile as the directory

I don't think that's a clean and easy solution. Your tool laying around on some
third party server and barely anyone being aware and using it.
Possible solutions:
- As a intermediate fix: Simply change the Windows behavior, not to close
Vidalia/Tor when Firefox is terminated. (Like already on Li

The question to ask is 'why does it suggest this?'
The 'new identity' function in TBB will clear memory cache when in

No good assumption. Using unix doesn't make you a geek. Ubuntu is one of the
most widespread AND newbie friendly distribution.
Hi! I've got tor exit relay running on a dedicated host! About to upgrade
it in a week too! High five to everyone making this project a reality.
I'm wanting all my apps on my desktop to use tor, what is the recommended
method? polipo or privoxy + tor? Do i really need nph-proxy?
