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

We assume you already -have Firefox installed and working.</p> - -<p>The screenshots here are oriented towards Windows users, but -SwitchProxy works anywhere Firefox works. Hopefully everybody else can -follow along just fine.</p> - -<hr /> -<a id="zero"></a> -<h2><a class="anchor" href="#zero">Step Zero: Download and Install Tor and Privoxy</a></h2> -<br /> - -<p>Before you start, you need to make sure 1) Tor is up and running, -2) Privoxy is up and running, and 3) Privoxy is configured to point -to Tor.</p> - -<p>Windows users need to do <a -href="http://tor.eff.org/doc/tor-doc-win32.html#installing">step one</a> -of the Windows Tor installation howto, and Mac OS X users need to do <a -href="http://tor.eff.org/doc/tor-doc-osx.html#installing">step one</a> -of OS X Tor installation howto, since our Win32 and OS X packages include -Privoxy and configure it already. Linux/BSD/Unix users should do <a -href="http://tor.eff.org/doc/tor-doc-unix.html#installing">step one</a> -and <a href="http://tor.eff.org/doc/tor-doc-unix.html#privoxy">step -two</a> of the Unix Tor installation howto. -</p> - -<hr /> -<a id="one"></a> -<h2><a class="anchor" href="#one">Step One: Download and Install SwitchProxy</a></h2> -<br /> - -<p>SwitchProxy is a Firefox plugin, so you need to go through -the process of installing a new plugin. First, go to the <a -href="https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&id=125"> -SwitchProxy</a> web page. If you're using Firefox 1.5, you might need to -download SwitchProxy <a href="http://www.roundtwo.com/product/switchproxy">from -here</a> instead. -Turn on JavaScript for now and click "Install Now":</p> - -<img alt="switchproxy web page" -src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-webpage.jpg" /> - -<p>It will pop up a window asking for permission to install the plugin. -Click on the "Install Now" button: -</p> - -<img alt="firefox plugin warning" -src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-plugin-starting.jpg" /> - -<p>Once the installer is finished, you should close all of your Firefox -windows and restart Firefox.</p> - -<img alt="firefox plugin finished" -src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-plugin-finished.jpg" /> - -<hr /> -<a id="two"></a> -<h2><a class="anchor" href="#two">Step Two: Configure SwitchProxy</a></h2> -<br /> - -<p>When you restart Firefox, you'll notice there's a new toolbar -that lets you control your proxies. Now we're going to set up a proxy -configuration for Tor. Click on "Add" in the new Proxy toolbar:</p> - -<img alt="new toolbar" -src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-toolbar.jpg" /> - -<p>It will ask you to select a proxy type. Choose -"Standard." (There's also an "anonymous" proxy type that -uses an ad hoc set of anonymous proxies out there. You -don't want this, because those other "anonymous" proxies <a -href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ComparisonProxyAggregators">give -you much weaker security than Tor</a>.) +href="http://tor.eff.org/documentation.html">Tor documentation</a> page. </p> -<img alt="standard proxy" -src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-proxytype.jpg" /> - -<p>Now it will show you the standard proxy config window for Firefox. -Give this configuration a proxy label of "tor". Then fill in "localhost" -and "8118" for all four entries, as shown here. (Even -though Privoxy doesn't support FTP and Gopher, <a -href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#FtpProxy">you -should set them up anyway</a>.) Then click "OK":</p> - -<img alt="proxy config" -src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-proxyconfig.jpg" /> - -<p>Now you've created the "tor" proxy label, but you're not using it yet. -Click on the pull-down list and select tor, as shown here:</p> - -<img alt="switch to tor" -src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-switch.jpg" /> - -<p>Almost done. Click "Apply" to make your change take effect:</p> - -<img alt="apply" -src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-apply.jpg" /> - -<p>Done! Firefox will reload your current page. In -this example screenshot, it reloaded the page and <a -href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#GoogleLanguage">happened -to get a German exit node</a>:</p> - -<img alt="german google" -src="http://tor.eff.org/img/screenshot-switchproxy-german.jpg" /> - -<hr /> -<a id="three"></a> -<h2><a class="anchor" href="#three">Step Step Three: Check if it works</a></h2> -<br /> - -<p>Now Firefox is using Privoxy as an HTTP proxy, Privoxy is using Tor as -a socks4a proxy, and Tor is making your connections to the Internet.</p> - -<p>In the above example, it was clear that it worked because the web -page showed up in a different language. In other cases, though, -you'll want to verify that your setup is working. Do -<a href="http://tor.eff.org/doc/tor-doc-win32.html#verify">step three</a> -of the Windows Tor installation howto, or -<a href="http://tor.eff.org/doc/tor-doc-osx.html#verify">step three</a> -of the OS X Tor installation howto.</p> - -<p>You should be aware of one anonymity gotcha: when you switch from -using Tor to a direct connection (or vice versa), by default the page -that's currently active will be reloaded through the new proxy setting. -So make sure you're on a page that isn't sensitive, before switching. -(You can also change this behavior in SwitchProxy's "Options | -Preferences" menu.)</p> - -<hr /> - -<p>If you have suggestions for improving this document, please <a -href="/contact">send them to us</a>.
