I think there is a disconnect somewhere in our understanding of what you're doing. When you say 'private tor network', I take that to mean: - you are running your own directory authorities - you are runnning your own tor relays which are configured for your directory authorities - you have configured a client tor to use the directory authorities None of the above involves Vidalia. Vidalia is a controller for tor with a subset of functionality available in the torrc configuration file. Once you have a tor client configured to talk to your private directory authorities, then you just simple fire up vidalia and connect to that tor client. What you see in the Network Map will simply reflect the size of your private tor network. The tor client is doing the work, vidalia is just a pretty display of everything. -- Andrew pgp key: 0x74ED336B _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
