Ubuntu - Install Tor to use the blocked MSN
The following step shows how to setup Tor to use the blocked MSN:
1) Install Tor
sudo apt-get install tor2) Config MSN for localhost
sudo /etc/init.d/tor start
If your MSN and Tor are running at the same computer, the configuration is, Pidgin for example: Accounts --> Add/Edit --> (account) --> Modify Account --> Advanced --> Proxy Type --> Socks 5 --> Host: localhost, Port: 9050
3) Config for LAN
Open the config file:
sudo vi /etc/tor/torrcFind the following line:
SocksListenAddress 127.0.0.1 # accept connections only from localhostAdd a new line:
SocksListenAddress XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:PORT # accept connections from local networkXXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is the IP address of the pc running Tor, Port is any number not used.
For example:
172.21.18.247:9100And then restart Tor:
sudo /etc/init.d/tor restartPidgin settings: ... --> Host: 172.21.18.247, Port: 9100
That's all.
