Besides JAP, which sometimes hard to establishing connection to free server, there is another alternative for connect anonymous on Internet and bypassing proxy limit. The alternative is called Tor.
The benefit of using Tor besides JAP is beside anonymous connection it can also allow user to tunnelling and forwarding/redirecting port.
Here is the list of packages/software that you need to install,
-
Tor [1],
-
Privoxy [2],
-
dante [3] or tsocks [4],
-
Tork (Optional, GUI for Tor) [5]
In OpenSuSE you can install it from RPM directly. You can search for packages in http://packages.opensuse-community.org/ [6].
Configurations
Privoxy Setting Example
Edit file /etc/privoxy/config,
actionsfile standard # Internal purpose, recommended actionsfile default # Main actions file actionsfile user # User customizations filterfile default.filter logfile logfile debug 4096 # Startup banner and warnings debug 8192 # Errors - we highly recommended enabling this toggle 1 listen-address 127.0.0.1:8118 buffer-limit 4096 forward / 10.1.10.17:8080 # redirect http traffic to your proxy forward :443 10.1.10.17:8080 # redirect https traffic to your proxy forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 # redirect socks traffic to tor
Tor Setting Example
Edit file /etc/tor/torrc,
SocksPort 9050 # port for client connections SocksListenAddress 127.0.0.1 # accept connections only from localhost DataDirectory /var/lib/tor ControlPort 9051 # for tork (optional) Nickname bubu HttpProxy 10.1.10.17:8080 HttpsProxy 10.1.10.17:8080 mapaddress 10.40.40.40 mejokbp2brhw4omd.onion # for IRC mapaddress 10.40.40.41 5t7o4shdbhotfuzp.onion # for IRC
Dante Setting Example
resolveprotocol: fake
route {
from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: . via: 127.0.0.1 port = 9050
protocol: tcp
proxyprotocol: socks_v4 socks_v5
}
Testing/Running
After everything is set now we need to run it one by one,
# rcprivoxy restart # rctor restart
Next, you need to set your application to use 127.0.0.1:8080 as http/https proxy or 127.0.0.1:9050 for SOCKS.
Tor also has an utility to wrap application to connect to local tor, it name is torify. Example,
$ torify kopete
