Blow away the obsolete docs.
Leave shells of them in case people link to them from elsewhere.

Start by installing <a -href="http://www.privoxy.org/">Privoxy</a>: click on 'recent releases' -and pick your favorite package or install from source. Privoxy is a -filtering web proxy that integrates well with Tor. -</p> - -<p>You need to configure Privoxy to use Tor. -Open Privoxy's "config" file (look in /etc/privoxy/ or /usr/local/etc/) -and add the line <br> -<tt>forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 .</tt><br> -to the top of the config file. Don't forget to add the dot at the end. +href="http://tor.eff.org/documentation.html">Tor documentation</a> page. </p> -<p>Privoxy keeps a log file of everything passed through it.

The first step is to set up web browsing.</p> - -<p>If you're using Firefox (we recommend it), check out our <a -href="tor-switchproxy.html">Tor SwitchProxy howto</a> to set up -a plugin that makes it easy to switch between using Tor and using a -direct connection.</p> - -<p>Otherwise, you need to manually configure your browser to HTTP proxy -at localhost port 8118. -(That's where Privoxy listens.) -In Mozilla, this is in Edit|Preferences|Advanced|Proxies. -In Opera 7.5x it's Tools|Preferences|Network|Proxy servers. -You should click the "use the same proxy server for all protocols" -button; but see <a -href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#FtpProxy">this -note</a> about Tor and ftp proxies. - -<p>Using privoxy is <strong>necessary</strong> because <a -href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#SOCKSAndDNS">browsers -leak your DNS requests when they use a SOCKS proxy directly</a>, which -is bad for your anonymity. Privoxy also removes certain dangerous -headers from your web requests, and blocks obnoxious ad sites like -Doubleclick.</p> - -<p>To Torify other applications that support HTTP proxies, just -point them at Privoxy (that is, localhost port 8118). To use SOCKS -directly (for instant messaging, Jabber, IRC, etc), you can point -your application directly at Tor (localhost port 9050), but see <a -href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#SOCKSAndDNS">this -FAQ entry</a> for why this may be dangerous. For applications -that support neither SOCKS nor HTTP, take a look at <a -href="http://tsocks.sourceforge.net/">tsocks</a> or <a -href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorifyHOWTO#socat">socat</a>. -</p> - -<p>For information on how to Torify other applications, check out the -<a href="http://wiki.noreply.org/wiki/TheOnionRouter/TorifyHOWTO">Torify -HOWTO</a>. -</p> - -<hr /> -<a id="verify"></a> -<h2><a class="anchor" href="#verify">Step Four: Make sure it's working</a></h2> -<br /> - -<p> -Next, you should try using your browser with Tor and make -sure that your IP address is being anonymized. Click on the <a -href="http://serifos.eecs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/ipaddr.pl?tor=1">Tor -detector</a> and see whether it thinks you're using Tor or not. -(If that site is down, see <a -href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#IsMyConnectionPrivate">this -FAQ entry</a> for more suggestions on how to test your Tor.) -</p> - -<p>If you have a personal firewall that limits your computer's -ability to connect to itself (this includes something like SELinux on -Fedora Core 4), be sure to allow connections from -your local applications to Privoxy (local port 8118) and Tor (local port -9050). If -your firewall blocks outgoing connections, punch a hole so -it can connect to at least TCP ports 80 and 443, and then see <a -href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#FirewalledClient">this -FAQ entry</a>. If your SELinux config is not allowing tor or privoxy to -run correctly, create a file named booleans.local in the directory -/etc/selinux/targeted. Edit this file in your favorite text editor and -insert "allow_ypbind=1". Restart your machine for this change to take -effect. -</p> - -<p>If it's still not working, look at <a -href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ItDoesntWork">this -FAQ entry</a> for hints.</p> - -<hr /> -<a id="server"></a> -<h2><a class="anchor" href="#server">Step Five: Configure it as a server</a></h2> -<br /> - -<p>The Tor network relies on volunteers to donate bandwidth. The more -people who run servers, the faster the Tor network will be. If you have -at least 20 kilobytes/s each way, please help out Tor by configuring your -Tor to be a server too. We have many features that make Tor servers easy -and convenient, including rate limiting for bandwidth, exit policies so -you can limit your exposure to abuse complaints, and support for dynamic -IP addresses.</p> - -<p>Having servers in many different places on the Internet is what -makes Tor users secure. <a -href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ServerAnonymity">You -may also get stronger anonymity yourself</a>, -since remote sites can't know whether connections originated at your -computer or were relayed from others.</p> - -<p>Read more at our <a href="tor-doc-server.html">Configuring a server</a> -guide.</p> - -<hr /> - -<p>If you have suggestions for improving this document, please post -them on <a href="http://bugs.noreply.org/tor">our bugtracker</a> in the -website category.
