tor (the onion router) on meego harmattan
here’s a quick and dirty howto run the tor-service on your meego/harmattan device for anonymous internet traffic:
pre-dependencies:
- inception
- opensh_1.00_armel (incept the package … you need it to gain more rights)
after the inception of opensh, you can try to check if it worked:
~ $ id

whooop … looks good!
now we come to some tricky stuff:
- enable rzr’s repository (setup repository)
- install tor through command line: apt-get install tor
… apt will now go crazy with alot of permission errors:
- chown: /var/lib/tor: Operation not permitted
to fix this – change the ownership for all the errors manually (through opensh):
- chown debian-tor:debian-tor /var/lib/tor
- chown debian-tor:debian-tor /var/run/tor
- …
… now we have to check if we use our phone as dns-server …
the file “/etc/resolv.conf” should contain the following string:
nameserver 127.0.0.1
… the next step is to configure the torrc file “/etc/tor/torrc”
mine looks like this:
SocksPort 9050 # what port to open for local application connections
SocksListenAddress 127.0.0.1 # accept connections only from localhost
VirtualAddrNetwork 10.192.0.0/10
AutomapHostsOnResolve 1
TransPort 9040
DNSPort 53
RunAsDaemon 1
… tor should be staring up as a daemon now! 
to make things easier, I packed some scripts together to handle tor through 3 desktop icons:
- to start tor for all traffic
- to start tor in background (for example: in fennec/firefox set socks proxy to localhost:9050)
- to stop tor and unset system-wide proxy settings
here you can download torswitch0.1
cheers!

Hi,
i tried to install tor, but eventually something went wrong while doing that. I would like to remove it and set back everything to the original. now i cannot connect to facebook through the built in app, only via the browser, and also have some problem with tor while installing libpcap0.8. Any idea for the solution?
many thanks.
hi mexicanitch!
note: you should run these commands in a privileged shell ( devel-su ) – I would also gain all user and group rights before ( opensh )
the command to remove tor and torswitch completely is:
apt-get remove –purge tor torswitch
…
to set back the the command is:
gconftool-2 -u /system/proxy/socks_host && gconftool-2 -u /system/proxy/socks_port
… to your libpcap problem – could you please try to install it through command line with the following command and post your output:
dpkg -i /location/to/libpcap0.8.deb
or if you are working in open mode:
AEGIS_FIXED_ORIGIN=com.nokia.maemo dpkg -i /location/to/libpcap0.8.deb
cheers,
chaos

sorry for my delay, …
… please check the code i’ve posted again! … it looks like u made a copy and paste and the symbols changed from “–” to “”..”
… i do have an other encoding-type than you have!
and “dpkg -i /to/libpcap0.8.deb” wont work. dpkg tells you the reason why:
“Aegis rejecting /to/libpcap0.8.deb: Could not open debian archive”
that means that you habe to point to the libpcap0.8.deb file after “dpkg -i ”
for example:
if your libpcap0.8.deb file is under “/home/user/ MyDocs/Downloads/” your command would look like this:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/libpcap0.8.deb
cheers
My brother recommended I would possibly like this web site. He was totally right. This post actually made my day. You cann’t believe simply how a lot time I had spent for this information! Thanks!
