-Command-line web browsing:
-
- (First, install and configure Privoxy as described in INSTALL.)
- For more convenient command-line use, I recommend making a ~/.wgetrc
- with the line
- http_proxy=http://localhost:8118
- Then you can do things like "wget seul.org" and watch as it downloads
- from the onion routing network.
-
- For fun, you can wget a very large file (a megabyte or more), and
- then ^z the wget a little bit in. The onion routers will continue
- talking for a while, queueing around 500k in the kernel-level buffers.
- When the kernel buffers are full, and the outbuf for the AP connection
- also fills, the internal congestion control will kick in and the exit
- connection will stop reading from the webserver. The circuit will
- wait until you fg the wget -- and other circuits will work just fine
- throughout. Then try ^z'ing the onion routers, and watch how well it
- recovers. Then try ^z'ing several of them at once. :)

+ as a socks4 server. My /etc/tsocks.conf simply has:
server_port = 9050
