I have in a folder on a 64bit Linux distro the TBB. I read the Vidalia bundle has been discontinued. So I jumped at using this configuration. I have read that the socks 5 proxy is on 127.0.0.1:9050. So I tried pushing through it a jabber.org connection (XMPP) with Pidgin. Pidgin even lists Socks 4, Socks 5 and a Tor/Privacy (Socks). Yet, the connection fails with either option.
Am I doing something wrong? TorBrowser is up and works through Tor. Vidalia is up and running. Second question: why does Pidgin make a difference between Socks 5 and Tor/Privacy? Socks 5 comes as an improvement over Socks 4 as it can route DNS requests as well. So Socks 4 leaks DNS, Socks 5 shouldn't as long as it is well configured. Than what's the difference?
