Hi Sebastian and all, thanks for all the great feedback and responses! Honestly I think that for the purposes of my initial question, taking the actions of NSA into account is going a bit too far. No one really knows what they are and aren't capable of - and while speculation is nice, this isn't

Hi Joe and Sean, thanks a lot for your suggestions and discussion! I have to say Google DNS really isn't an option for me, because I simply don't trust Google. Even if they do have a decent privacy policy for their DNS service, they do store geographic information which I think is unacceptable fo

Hi all, just setup my tor node and got the following log entries after a few minutes: May 30 22:37:26 home Tor[3107]: Your DNS provider gave an answer for "skwpnmuq.com", which is not supposed to exist. Apparently they are hijacking DNS failures. Trying to correct for this. We've noticed 1 possi

Hello all, I just visited the Tor website, since I wanted to download the latest version for Mac OS. Well, I was hoping to find a Tor + Polipo Bundle without anything else, but it looks like those have been abandoned sadly, all I could find was the Tor Browser portable app. As I'm completely bli

Hi Eugen, > Hetzner allows use of multiple IP addresses with one server. Ah, yes, that's true - thanks a lot for pointing that out to me, as I completely forgot about this! Well, I guess I could get myself a second IP in that case and continue running it as a relay... But in that case, I think

Hi guys, having used Tor for quite a while now and educated several people on how to use it to surf anonymously and enhancing privacy, I'm now at a point where I really would like to give back and make a contribution to the network by hosting a Tor exit node. Currently, I'm already running a Lin

Hi there, you know, I'm definitely not someone deeply involved in the Tor project, its development, maintenance and all that. However, from my experience, I've always thought that everyone donating a relay or exit node to the network is seen as "potentially helpful" and not as a "potential secur

Hi all, I am using Mac OS X and running the Vidalia Bundle. For my network connection that connects me to the internet, I have the Polipo address and port configured as the Web proxy, Secure Web proxy and SOCKS proxy in the network preferences. Now, this seems to have worked, as all of my browser

Hi Gozu-san, thanks for the links! They seem like good starting points for such a project. Such a box would be, when designed and fully configured, a good and stable way for people wanting to give their machines secure www access. Other than the software config, I could also imagine certain hard

Hi all, so, I've been browsing the web using Tor for some time now, and I have to say that, at least with the cir quid I am currently using, I'm quite impressed with the performance, especially since I'm only connected through a 3g ap at the moment! So, I've had a look around the Torproject site

Hi Geoff, yes… That was exactly the problem! I falsely assumed that Polipo would automatically read the config file from that directory, but that obviously wasn't right. Now it's also clear why Vidalia worked whereas my shell commands didn't, as Vidalia perhaps calls Polipo with the right parame

Hi Jack, thanks for the idea! However, I'm really not sure if this really is the problem. After all, it actually works when Polipo is launched via the GUI, the problems only appear when I launch it from the command line. Also, Tor is set as the parent proxy in my Polipo config, but for some reas

Hi all, so, I'd like to use Tor on my Mac, and access the web through its network of servers. So far so good, but as I'm familiar with Linux and the shell, I don't want to bring up Tor using the Vidalia GUI, but rather call it from Terminal and later on have both Tor and Polipo launched as daemo
