Gnome Network settings - Tor Proxy
Hi every one, i 'm trying to configure Tor in a way that other applications that use proxy settings set by Gnome can be use throught Tor without the need to configure each application manually. I have found a nice tutorial on Gnewsense documentation (http://www.gnewsense.org/Documentation/Tor) and i have tried to follow and adapt it for trisquel 6.0 .
my problem is that i can't find any proxy tab in the networks settings, so i would like to know if any package could add this tab or allow me to configure gnome proxy settings with a GUI?
Personally I would suggest against that. Some years ago, Tor started as a simple proxy, it would redirect all you traffic through Tor network, and that was it. Over the years, the Tor team actually understood that was no good, because there are MANY ways that your system can screw things from the inside, not even needing a malicious feature, sometimes a simple addon on firefox could work against privacy or not respect the proxy settings.
So, they developed Tor Browser, and eventually also joined with the Tails project.
If so much work is put into Tails and Tor Browser, you can't really expect to just adjust a few proxy settings and get it done with so easily.
You would better stick with Tor Browser in a non compromised system (like Trisquel) or start using Tails altogether.
As for your question, I never tried it so I don't know how to it. And if you do it, you will probably get burned in the end. My two cents...
Yeah, be careful. And
thanks for your answers. it helps alot.
