Vidalia 0.2.5 Released
Posted October 17th, 2009 by phobos
On October 14th we released Vidalia 0.2.5. Changes are:
- Add support in the Network settings page for configuring the
Socks4Proxy and Socks5Proxy* options that were added in
Tor 0.2.2.1-alpha. Patch from Christopher Davis. - Add a "Automatically distribute my bridge address" checkbox (enabled
by default) to the bridge relay settings options. (Ticket #524) - Add ports 7000 and 7001 to the list of ports excluded by the IRC
category in the exit policy configuration tab. (Ticket #517) - Add a context menu for highlighted event items in the "Basic" message
log view that allows the user to copy the selected item text to the
clipboard. - Maybe fix a time conversion bug that could result in Vidalia
displaying the wrong uptime for a relay in the network map. - Stop trying to enforce proper quoting and escaping of arguments to be
given to the proxy executable (e.g., Polipo). Now the user is on their
own for properly formatting the command line used to start the proxy
executable. (Ticket #523)
Just to highlight the first bullet point
"Add support in the Network settings page for configuring the
Socks4Proxy and Socks5Proxy* options that were added in
Tor 0.2.2.1-alpha. Patch from Christopher Davis."
Thanks to Chris' work and Matt's integration, Tor can now support nearly any proxy to get access to the Tor Network. Using open proxies or other proxy tools is now possible to get access to the unfiltered Internet through Tor while keeping your communications private and anonymous.
In some dystopian future world where all Tor relays and bridges are blocked, so long as open proxies exist, you can still reach the Tor Network.
Your connection would be as such:
your client <---> open SOCKS/HTTP proxy <---> Tor network
All open proxies supported?
What does this mean about Tor and Polipo? Will this lead to a change from Polipo to something else?
No, it just means you have
No, it just means you have more options for how you can use your Tor.
Okay, I downloaded this for
Okay, I downloaded this for my computer. But I have a problem, I use Google Chrome for my internet browser and not Firefox. Does anyone know how I can get it for Google Chrome??
this discussion last year
showed some issues and testing people have done
http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Sep-2008/msg00032.html
basically, Google Chrome was bad for privacy.
you can try it and let us know if things got better.
Where can I download it?
I cannot find this release in download page.

hi ! if you want crash anything that disallow.you must be learn to mask behaviors,it is not only technique problems , but also sense-logical problems.Remember forever,mask you as the Chameleon in china.even when you are surfing cross Tor.

Vidalia.Privoxy
Hi to all. I'm from Romania, from a student campus, we use yuor software every day (good job), Privoxy and Vidalia to connect to some sites, but for 3 days now, all the vidalia bundle versions i've tryed do not connect any more, it shows me an error like: coulnd't find root host,or it just stops at the third part of the bar... some help?
re: romania
If you enable the info log setting, are there any errors or connection problems?
Have you tried a bridge or three?
Off topic, but whatever

I say,will you Tor guys pay
I say,will you Tor guys pay more attention to maimland China? Where you can enjoy Tor, only if you use bridge relays.But bridges can be blocked still,and you have to change bridges from time to time. Tor must Establish a stable encrypted directory connection by defaut.
link to china tor blocking discussion topic
https://blog.torproject.org/blog/picturing-tor-censorship-in-china
you can also get bridges by querying an email address as documented at
https://www.torproject.org/bridges
but there may now be automated tools looking for bridges which are published by Torproject, so you could consider setting up an informal network among trusted people where you run private bridges using instructions shown at https://git.torproject.org/checkout/tor/master/doc/spec/bridges-spec.txt
Thank you for your reply.I'v
Thank you for your reply.I'v got some bridges through e-mail,they work well,at least presently.
I have tried the new stable version(0.2.1.20),but the DOS window gave a notice:
（Day/Time） [notice] This version of Tor (0.2.1.20) is newer than any recommended version in its series, according to the directory authorities. Recommended versions are: 0.2.0.34,0.2.0.35,0.2.1.19,0.2.2.1-alpha,0.2.2.2-alpha,0.2.2.3-alpha,0.2.2.4-alpha,0.2.2.5-alpha
What does "newer than any recommended version in its series" mean? Dose it mean 0.2.1.20 is too new to be recommended? Is 0.2.1.20 not suitable for use in mainland China?
Suggest ways we can pay more
Suggest ways we can pay more attention and help out.
Heck, I was just in Hong Kong and got to experience the internet filtering first hand, and how to work around it.
We have networks in china giving out bridge IPs. We're monitoring blocking of relays and bridges. We have translations into simplified chinese.
We changed tor to be able to use any proxy, so if you find one that isn't blocked, use it to get to the rest of the internet via tor.
what more can we do to help?
"We changed tor to be able
"We changed tor to be able to use any proxy"
—— What do you mean by "changed tor to be able to use any proxy"? Use an "outsaide" proxy to accsse Tor network,instead of a bridge relay? That needs to edit the torrc file,for example,as:
HttpProxy host:port
HttpsProxy host:port
I'd rather use bridge relays,they work fine.
I'v got many a way to by-pass the Great Firewall,but Tor is my favorite for years.
"What more can we do to help?"
—— I hope Tor "just do it".And wish Tor ever young,and never old.
Vidalia won't start - OSX 10.4.11
Hi, I downloaded the latest mac bundle (0.2.6), but I can't get Vidalia to start. Vidalia.app copies to the Applications folder fine, but when I click on it nothing happens. It doesn't even appear in the dock.
I've had previous versions of Tor installed on this computer and they worked fine. I thought I removed them completely before installing the new version. Can anyone help?
By the way, please help if
