+>4.9. How do I use <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Privoxy</SPAN
+>
+ together with <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Tor</SPAN
+>?</H3
+><P
+> Before you configure <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Privoxy</SPAN
+> to use <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Tor</SPAN
+>
+ (<A
+HREF="http://tor.eff.org/"
+TARGET="_top"
+>http://tor.eff.org/</A
+>),
+ please follow the User Manual chapters
+ <A
+HREF="../user-manual/installation.html"
+TARGET="_top"
+>2. Installation</A
+> and
+ <A
+HREF="../user-manual/startup.html"
+TARGET="_top"
+>5. Startup</A
+> to make sure
+ <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Privoxy</SPAN
+> itself is setup correctly.</P
+><P
+>
+ If it is, refer to <A
+HREF="http://tor.eff.org/documentation.html.en"
+TARGET="_top"
+>Tor's
+ extensive documentation</A
+> to learn how to install <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Tor</SPAN
+>,
+ and make sure <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Tor</SPAN
+>'s logfile says that
+ <SPAN
+CLASS="QUOTE"
+>"Tor has successfully opened a circuit"</SPAN
+> and it
+ <SPAN
+CLASS="QUOTE"
+>"[l]ooks like client functionality is working"</SPAN
+>.</P
+><P
+> If either <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Tor</SPAN
+> or <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Privoxy</SPAN
+>
+ isn't working, their combination most likely will neither. Testing them on their
+ own will also help you to direct problem reports to the right audience.
+ If <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Privoxy</SPAN
+> isn't working, don't bother the
+ <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Tor</SPAN
+> developers. If <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Tor</SPAN
+>
+ isn't working, don't send bug reports to the <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Privoxy</SPAN
+> Team.</P
+><P
+> If you verified that <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Privoxy</SPAN
+> and <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Tor</SPAN
+>
+ are working, it is time to connect them. As far as <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Privoxy</SPAN
+>
+ is concerned, <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Tor</SPAN
+> is just another proxy that can be reached
+ by socks4 or socks4a. Most likely you are interested in <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Tor</SPAN
+>
+ to increase your anonymity level, therefore you should use socks4a,
+ to make sure <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Privoxy's</SPAN
+> DNS requests are
+ done through <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Tor</SPAN
+> and thus invisible to your local network.</P
+><P
+> Since <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Privoxy</SPAN
+> 3.0.4, its configuration (section 5.2)
+ is already prepared for <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Tor</SPAN
+>, if you are using a
+ default <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Tor</SPAN
+> configuration and run it on the same
+ system as Privoxy, you just have to uncomment the line:</P
+><P
+> <TABLE
+BORDER="0"
+BGCOLOR="#E0E0E0"
+WIDTH="100%"
+><TR
+><TD
+><PRE
+CLASS="SCREEN"
+># forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 .
+ </PRE
+></TD
+></TR
+></TABLE
+></P
+><P
+> This is enough to reach the internet, but additionally you should
+ uncomment the following forward rules, to make sure your local network is still
+ reachable through Privoxy:</P
+><P
+> <TABLE
+BORDER="0"
+BGCOLOR="#E0E0E0"
+WIDTH="100%"
+><TR
+><TD
+><PRE
+CLASS="SCREEN"
+># forward 192.168.*.*/ .
+# forward 10.*.*.*/ .
+# forward 127.*.*.*/ .
+ </PRE
+></TD
+></TR
+></TABLE
+></P
+><P
+> Unencrypted connections to systems in these address ranges will
+ be as (un)secure as the local network is, but the alternative is
+ that you can't reach the network at all.
+ If you also want to be able to reach servers in your local
+ network by using their names, you will need additional
+ exceptions that look like this:</P
+><P
+> <TABLE
+BORDER="0"
+BGCOLOR="#E0E0E0"
+WIDTH="100%"
+><TR
+><TD
+><PRE
+CLASS="SCREEN"
+># forward localhost/ .
+ </PRE
+></TD
+></TR
+></TABLE
+></P
+><P
+> Save the modified configuration file and open
+ <A
+HREF="http://config.privoxy.org/show-status"
+TARGET="_top"
+>http://config.privoxy.org/show-status/</A
+>
+ in your browser, confirm that <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Privoxy</SPAN
+> has reloaded its configuration
+ and that there are no other forward lines, unless you know that you need them. I everything looks good,
+ refer to
+ <A
+HREF="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#head-0e1cc2ac330ede8c6ad1ac0d0db0ac163b0e6143"
+TARGET="_top"
+>Tor
+ Faq 4.2</A
+> to learn how to verify that you are really using <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Tor</SPAN
+>.</P
+><P
+> Afterwards, please take the time to at least skim through the rest
+ of <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Tor's</SPAN
+> documentation. Make sure you understand
+ what <SPAN
+CLASS="APPLICATION"
+>Tor</SPAN
+> does, why it is no replacement for
+ application level security, and why you shouldn't use it for unencrypted logins.</P
