tor-project is a useful tool for keep your anonymity .Spying from google , facebook and others threats of our privacy. Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet.
An easy way to have some privacy , or at least give a try is TOR ,which prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location ,changing your ip-adress and to browse the Internet anonymously.
For windows it’s easy , but for us poor debian-xfce users who prefer to use google-chrome it’s not ! So there are two ways of using tor alongside with chrome :
a) use firefox
b)try GNOME instead !
there are some issues for chrome at XFCE and you must configure GNOME because changing proxy settings at chrome looks a bit difficult. Chromium/Chrome do not recognize the xfce desktop session as gnome but adding at ~/.bashrc :
export GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID=default
doesn’t solve the problem either …
anyway looking for some details missing , maybe make it work finaly …
installing tor will need also polipop , and proxy switchy but vidalia is not needed , step by step here
