Tor only provides TCP layer anonymity. It does not do any protocol
cleaning, so if you are going to browse the web you still give away a
lot of information to servers.
The Tor project currently recommends to use Polipo instead of Privoxy.
Please look at README.polipo for information on how to configure Polipo
for Tor usage.
The privoxy package provides a privacy enhancing HTTP proxy, which
is good at filtering headers, cookies, and much more. To view the
description of the Debian privoxy package just run "apt-cache show
privoxy". Please refer to the privoxy documentation for more details.
In order to use privoxy over tor, add the following line to your
privoxy configuration file:
forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 .
(the dot is important)
Torbutton is configured to use Privoxy by default. If you choose to use
Tor directly (which is not recommended), you can uncheck "Use Privoxy"
in the preferences.
