Users - should be using Tor Browser Bundle, not installing Vidalia themselves." - -- https://www.torproject.org/projects/vidalia.html.en - -Obviously, that only concerns folks that do not know what they are doing. - -Also, the development of Torbutton has been discontinued in favour of TBB, -the Tor-Browser-Bundle. It's strongly recommended to stop using Torbutton. - - -New versions of Vidalia used to be announced at: - https://blog.torproject.org/category/tags/vidalia-releases - https://www.torproject.org/projects/vidalia.html.en -but both links lag more often than not. - -A better place is to simply check https://www.torproject.org/dist/vidalia/ or -the mirrors listed at: https://www.torproject.org/getinvolved/mirrors.html.en - -Also, according to a talk given by Tor folks at 29c3, -Vidalia is now de facto unmaintained. - -After installing Vidalia, please consider adapting ~/.vidalia/vidalia.conf: - -[Tor] -DataDirectory=$HOME/.tor - -(fix for running as root; https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6259) - -and also consider adapting ~/.vidalia/torrc or /etc/tor/torrc accordingly: - -# Set the Tor Circuit Build time to find faster tor servers, increments -# of seconds -CircuitBuildTimeout 2 -# connections while Tor is not in use. -KeepalivePeriod 60 -# Force Tor to consider whether to build a new circuit every NUM seconds. -NewCircuitPeriod 15 -# Set How many entry guards we should we keep at a time -NumEntryGuards 8 - -In order to use Vidalia and Tor with Firefox you can use FoxyProxy or -Privoxy. You can also configure Firefox network settings for a SOCKSv5 -proxy; any other browser that supports SOCKSv5 proxies is ok to use too. - - -As of version 0.2.10 vidalia supports the local GeoIP database from -MaxMind. If the package hasn't been built with GEOIP=no, edit your -vidalia.conf to enable using the database via the -"UseLocalGeoIpDatabase" and "LocalGeoIpDatabase" options.
