Re: how can I use "tor"

Hi, thanks for all Information, I am very happy. Would it be a little bit safer to have Icecat in a container? If so, how to set it up? and will Guix automatically upgrade it, when it's in a container? Gottfried Am 24.07.22 um 12:47 schrieb Julien Lepiller: Two issues: First, the tor pro

Re: how can I use "tor"

Two issues: First, the tor project is asking distros not to build the tor browser themselves. That includes Guix. That is because a build with Guix will make it distinguishable from the tor-browser built by the tor project. Second, the tor-browser built by the tor project assumes FHS (/bir, /li

Re: how can I use "tor"

Thanks for clearing up. Would it be not a good idea to set up Tor Browser in Guix, that we would be able to use Tor only for certain webbrowsing and Icecat for the normal usage? I don't know if somebody has time to do it. Gottfried Am 24.07.22 um 12:13 schrieb Julien Lepiller: No, there's

Re: how can I use "tor"

No, there's no tor-browser on guix. Tor is running as a separate daemon and changing the settings instruct icecat to connect through the tor daemon. Le 24 juillet 2022 12:04:47 GMT+02:00, Gottfried a écrit : >Hi, >thanks a lot. It worked. >> You can't "run tor in icecat" that doesn't make sense.

Re: how can I use "tor"

Hi, thanks a lot. It worked. You can't "run tor in icecat" that doesn't make sense. Maybe you meant something else? Exactly, that what I meant. I can't run Tor in Icecat. It doesn't make sense. But in changing the settings in Icecat to using Tor, I understand, that it is like this. Tor is

Re: how can I use "tor"

Just a heads up, if you want proper anonymity, IceCat is almost certainly a bad choice. All the weird custom addons and source level modifications and the fact that very few people use it makes it *easier* to de-anonymize you. But if you just want to unblock some things or use onion addresses to ge

Re: how can I use "tor"

You can't "run tor in icecat" that doesn't make sense. Maybe you meant something else? If you don't want icecat to use tor, keep your current settings. For using tor in icecat, in your network settings: Select "Manuelle Proxy-Konfiguration" SOCKS host is localhost, SOCKS port is 9050 Select SOC

Re: how can I use "tor"

Thanks, I have taken a photo of my Icecat connection settings. In order not to make a mistake, I am asking again, how to fill in this settings? (I still understand too little, that's why I prefer to ask before making mistakes) As far as I understood you, Icecat will then run via Tor. Is it p

Re: how can I use "tor"

Hi Gottfried, you don't have to install tor or run it manually. The service is already running tor for you. To use Tor, you need to use a socks proxy to localhost:9050. You can configure icecat to connect to that proxy (and then check that you're actually connected through tor: https://check.torp

how can I use "tor"

Hi Guixers, I installed "tor, tor-client, torsocks". and also I have "tor-service-type" in my config.scm. Nevertheless it doesn't appear anywhere. I would like to use the Tor server separately, not in Firefox, as Tor Website proposed. gfp@Tuxedo ~$ tor Jul 21 19:30:24.097 [notice] Tor 0.4.7.
