Problem with Privoxy and Tor

Greetings,

I use Debian Wheezy as an OS and I have already downloaded the Tor Browser-Bundle, which works fine.

As soon as a start privoxy and set the proxy to: 127.0.0.1:8118 (socks4) in the tor browser (edit-->pref-->advanced-->settings--->http-proxy) I always get a connection refused. I did everything that I can find on the privoxy troubleshooting page, but it won't help.

I added this line to the /etc/privoxy/config to chain privoxy to tor, doesn't work either.

forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 .

tried this too

forward-socks5 / 127.0.0.1:9050 .

I mostly get the message "refused by proxy server" when connecting to a website like google or something.

anyone have a suggestion what could be wrong?

Hello all! That's my first post here and I have some few questions about navigation with tor network: 1) Is it safe to use it to access mainstream websites such as facebook, google and so on? I mean, they will probably know by there that we are using tor. And they can of course send out this...

TOR-RESOLVE(1)                                                      Tor Manual                                                      TOR-RESOLVE(1)

NAME

       tor-resolve - resolve a hostname to an IP address via tor

SYNOPSIS

       tor-resolve [-4|-5] [-v] [-x] hostname [sockshost[:socksport]]

DESCRIPTION

       tor-resolve is a simple script to connect to a SOCKS proxy that knows about the SOCKS RESOLVE command, hand it a hostname, and return an IP
       address.

       By default, tor-resolve uses the Tor server running on 127.0.0.1 on SOCKS port 9050. If this isn't what you want, you should specify an
       explicit sockshost and/or socksport on the command line.

OPTIONS

       -v
           Display verbose output.

       -x
           Perform a reverse lookup: get the PTR record for an IPv4 address.

       -5
           Use the SOCKS5 protocol. (Default)

       -4
           Use the SOCKS4a protocol rather than the default SOCKS5 protocol. Doesn't support reverse DNS.

SEE ALSO

       tor(1), torify(1).

       See doc/socks-extensions.txt in the Tor package for protocol details.
