 Bypass the annoying firewall (not 100% fool-proof) Edit: 27 Aug 2005 2042 EST This should work for most users. DO NOT USE THIS IF YOUR SCHOOL/WORK/ISP STRICTLY FORBIDS YOU TO NOT USE PEER TO PEER, OR IF IT IS ILLEGAL IN YOUR JURISDICTION. YOU RUN THE RISK OF LEGAL LIABILITY. Download Tor from here. Quote:
After that, you will need to load Privoxy. download here. Quote:
After you load Tor, it will be listening on your computer on port 8118. Launch Limewire, go to Tools -> Options. Click on Advanced, and go to Proxy. Choose HTTP, put localhost in the Proxy box, and 8118 in the Port. You won't notice a difference in speed, except for when Tor is slow. I downloaded some MP3s to test out the speed, and I noticed no difference. I received a 120kb/s download, and a few 40kb/s downloads. Tor will be affected when large amounts of users use it, or traffic on p2p is large. LordOfTheRings stated to me in a PM to change the default port from 6346 to something like 80, 22, 8080, 21, etc. because that will bypass someone on Tor blocking 6346 from going through their system. I tried it.. no luck. No luck either connecting through Tor with default 6346/tcp. Disclaimer: USING TOR WILL NOT SPEED UP YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION. THERE IS NO WAY TO SPEED IT UP WITHOUT SPENDING MORE MONEY TO BUY A BETTER CONNECTION, SO DON'T ASK. I KNOW SOMEONE'S GONNA SAY IT. also DO NOT USE TOR TO DOWNLOAD ILLEGAL THINGS OR VIOLATE LAWS IN YOUR AREA. ITS A LEGITIMATE APPLICATION, AND LIKE MOST LEGITIMATE APPLICATIONS, IT IS ABUSED BY END-USERS.

| I run Tor as a server also. You can use it for any program that asks for a HTTP server and a port. IM programs, IRC chat programs, web browser, etc. I think this will work for a lot of the users here.  I got bored and thought about to help everyone out with Tor. I knew Tor had the potential because I think most admins can't block it because all the data is transferred over port 80/tcp.If this works for you, tell us what ISP you were being blocked from accessing p2p and we'll add it to the list EDIT. damn, hit a bump. a host is blocking 6346/tcp. i'm not suprised. they might do the block on their own Tor server for liability purposes, but the Tor servers aren't supposed to log, nor have firewall rules, however I'm sure the host I'm using has 6346/tcp blocked  it might happen all the sudden because hosts change quickly, often without you noticing.you'll notice this on the Tor window Aug 27 16:32:57.144 [notice] Tried for 60 seconds to get a connection to [scrubbed]:6346. Giving up. Basically means everything is lagged on Tor, so disconnect, wait 10 minutes and reconnect with Limewire.

yup, they're making it so ISPs can block the traffic coming through Tor by making them go through ports that would make people mad if the ISP shut them off.

| Ok I have a question would it do any good to set my XP machine up as a server. I have the bandwith needed and very fast hard drives 2-Fujitsu U320 74GB 15,000 rpm set up 0-Raid Running a AMD64 3200+ OC to 2.4ghz. Will it use much memory. If I set it up as a server I do not intend to leave it on 24/7 it will only be left on 24/7 when I am home. Does anyone know what the side affects could be on me running LW at the same time.

| tor doesnt eat up much resources. im running tor, privoxy, trillian, firefox, limewire, xircon irc client and winamp right now and im around the 20-30% CPU usage right now. its an amd k6-2/350 with 192mb of ram.to sign up as a tor server, you have to send them an e-mail to setup everything. if i had bandwidth to spare, i'd gladly do it. however, my bandwidth is shared with the computers in my house and my neighbor right now, so i'd hate to have some bad lag. tor would take up ~ 20-30k and most likely that'd affect your download speed if you're on dsl/cable.. your download speeds are knocked down a lil. i wish i had a full t3  45mb up and 45mb down... mmmmm... for a t1 here, they want $600/mo + 2 year contract

| Salut Stief I don't know, haven't used it yet. My contribution thus fas was only opening the banmstoo' solution to other platforms. He runs it on a lowly K6 350, so performance of Tor and privoxy should be acceptable on any mac supporting os x. The clear limiting factor here is the bandwidth provided by the Tor system. Also, you may reach sometimes a Tor proxy from a network banning P2P or Gnutella.... Ciao

Are any of you currently using Tor/Privoxy with Limewire? I have Limewire Pro 4.9.29. Any suggestions, helpful hints would be great. |

| Tor is awesome, but many sources state it shouldn't be used for p2p. I wish Tor would run as a server whenever the "client" portion is loaded; similar to how any other "p2p" application works, once you are connected, you are "sharing" and using the system. But I think it's more of a trust issue; they don't want just any random person being able to set up a node (i.e: for logging or wahtever....)
