Hello
I am attempting to get Tor and Privoxy working with Iceweasel, but it
keeps throwing up errors.
The logfile has been enabled to record debugging info (1024 "Log the
destination for requests Privoxy didn't let through, and the reason
why", 4096 "start up banner and warnings" and 32 "debug force
feature". This is all that is shown:
May 31 11:39:48.199 b7ddd8d0 Info: Privoxy version 3.0.12
May 31 11:39:48.199 b7ddd8d0 Info: Program name: /usr/sbin/privoxy
May 31 11:39:48.219 b7ddd8d0 Info: Listening on port 8118 on IP
address localhost
Under the preferences option of the Iceweasel Tor Button, running the
test, this is the output:
Tor proxy test: Internal error
Having searched for over an hour now, I am reasonably sure that I am
following all the correct instructions for setting up the config file
(I've listed mine below) and have the latest Tor and Privoxy installed.
So, I am stumped. Without Tor being enabled, the connection is fine,
and when Tor is enabled, looking through Iceweasel
preferences/Advanced/Network/Settings the following is enabled:
Manual proxy configuration
HTTP Proxy 127.0.0.1 Port 8118
[I do not have "use this proxy server for all protocols" checked]
SSL Proxy 127.0.0.1 Port 8118
Socks Host 127.0.0.1 Port 9050
Socks v5 enabled
No Proxy for: localhost, 127.0.0.1
The following is my /etc/privoxy/config file (without the commented
sections):
user-manual /usr/share/doc/privoxy/user-manual
confdir /etc/privoxy
logdir /var/log/privoxy
actionsfile match-all.action # Actions that are applied to all sites
and maybe overruled later on.
actionsfile default.action # Main actions file
actionsfile user.action # User customizations
filterfile default.filter
logfile logfile

I'm the first to admit that my understanding of this stuff is junior
school at best, so this may be a really simple misconfiguration, but
as I said - when compared to suggested configurations found on the
web, my config file seems fine and yet it just won't allow me access
to webpages which are otherwise accessible without Tor.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Cheers
