Re: Surf Anonymously: Tor, Privoxy, Firefox Problem
i did not have to copy any privoxy files to my home directory to make it work. the files it needs to create there will be written when it runs.
the asterisk in yast2 indicates that the service will be started when it is called instead of being loaded all the time and can be changed depending on your needs.
yast2 will make the appropriate init changes depending on your settings, no manual edit is necessary.
your Firefox error message is not really clear to me. it sounds like privoxy is not running...or it is running and passing the connection to tor but is not recieving the SSL certificate verification which prevents Firefox from rendering the webpage(by default Firefox will not render a SSL page unless it verifies the cert, it displays error and presents the opportunity to make an exception).
just to check, review the privoxy config file /var/lib/privoxy/etc/config for the two pertinent uncommented lines that need to exist:
listen-address 127.0.0.1:8118
forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 .
the other thing that comes to mind is that your openssl libraries may not be up to date. Type openssl in the Search bar in Yast2 and see if there are updates available.
