Thread: HOWTO: Install Tor (the fastest way)

-

preface: tor software anonymize activities (your ip address). please note not of internet traffic anonymous magically. instead need understand tor , what not.

= how install , set tor in ubuntu =
  1. to install , setup tor, copy , paste content box below , paste terminal window (which can find in applications -> accessories -> terminal). can copy&paste content of whole box @ once if want to.

    code:
    gksudo 'apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 886ddd89' sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org $(lsb_release -s -c) main" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -y install tor-geoipdb polipo sudo cp /etc/polipo/config /etc/polipo/config.bak sudo wget -o /etc/polipo/config http://gitweb.torproject.org/torbrowser.git/blob_plain/head:/build-scripts/config/polipo.conf sudo service polipo restart
    that's it, done. note, every application (like instant messaging, mail client etc.) needs set separately in order use tor: see step 2.
  2. now depends on part of internet traffic want anonymized; if want browse web anonymized, need install torbutton firefox , click on button in bottom right corner in firefox. see if worked should, check this website tor project. enjoy anonymity.

what these cryptic commands?


"ubuntu way" (to use graphical tools whereever possible) of doing things isn't comfortable in case. instead, useful use terminal.

interested explain these commands do:
  • apt-key downloads public key tor repository , adds keychain.
  • add-apt-repository adds tor repository tor package comes from.
  • apt-get update updates package database, apt-get install installs tor , polipo, proxy needed.
  • cp creates backup of polipo configuration file.
  • wget downloads new configuration file , saves in correct place.
  • service restarts polipo service changes can take effect without reboot.

second fastest, fastest tor portable bundle, quite nice

available both linux , windows:

http://www.torproject.org/torbrowser/

runs out of box and, imo, comes nice set of graphical configuration tools.

also, prefer privoxy polipo, privosy adds adblocking (no need slow down tor adds, imo).

i have id (primary key) set bigint in sql server. have query following: where whateverid = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="#url.id#"> i got invalid data type it. tried: where whateverid = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_bigint" value="#url.id#"> i still got invalid data type it. tried: where whateverid = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_int" value="#url.id#"> and worked. the weird thing cf_sql_int not listed being accepted: http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/coldfusion/5.0/cfml_reference/tags79.htm can explain me. > whateverid = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_bigint" value="#url.id#"> what value of #url.id#? had no problems either using cf8. > weird thing cf_sql_int not listed being accepted: iirc, when pass in invalid sql type cf uses default: cf_sql_char, accepts anything. ms sql implicit convert() right type , why works.
