Step 2: Configure privoxy to filter out web browsing information tat may !ompromise

our anonymity.

Out of the #o,$ usin TOR as a client (instead of an e,it node) requires no confiuration.

Confiure "rivo,y so that it filters out any information that may "ossi#ly com"romise our

host. This can #e done #y modifyin the "rivo,y confiuration file.

%sudo nano 0etc0"rivo,y0confi% 444 edit the "rivo,y confiuration file and make the

necessary chanes.

that are transmitted and received !hile #ro!sin anonymously. Comment out the %6arfile%

cookie loin feature to "revent "rivo,y from loin anythin that could com"romise our

identity.

The final ste" in modifyin the confiuration file is to tell "rivo,y ho! connections should #e

for!arded to TOR. rivo,y !ill filter the content you are #ro!sin$ and TOR !ill route it

throuh the anonymous net!ork. t the very end of the "rivo,y confiuration file$ add a line

!hich s"ecifies !hich "ort to for!ard connections on. 7o to the #ottom of your "rivo,y

confiuration file and add a line !hich s"ecifies ho! the connections should #e routed afterthey are filtered. *ou !ill need to "aste in %for!ard3socks8a 0 localhost/9:;: .% into the

#ottom of your confiuration file. 5ote/ the %.% must #e included at the end.
