Please note that upstream states the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"You should simply download Vidalia as part of a Tor software bundle. Users
|
|
|
|
|
should be using Tor Browser Bundle, not installing Vidalia themselves."
|
|
|
|
|
-- https://www.torproject.org/projects/vidalia.html.en
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Obviously, that only concerns folks that do not know what they are doing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also, the development of Torbutton has been discontinued in favour of TBB,
|
|
|
|
|
the Tor-Browser-Bundle. It's strongly recommended to stop using Torbutton.

New versions of Vidalia used to be announced at:
|
|
|
|
|
https://blog.torproject.org/category/tags/vidalia-releases
|
|
|
|
|
https://www.torproject.org/projects/vidalia.html.en
|
|
|
|
|
but both links lag more often than not.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A better place is to simply check https://www.torproject.org/dist/vidalia/ or
|
|
|
|
|
the mirrors listed at: https://www.torproject.org/getinvolved/mirrors.html.en

|
Also, according to a talk given by Tor folks at 29c3,
|
|
|
|
|
Vidalia is now de facto unmaintained.

After installing Vidalia, please consider adapting ~/.vidalia/vidalia.conf:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[Tor]
|
|
|
|
|
DataDirectory=$HOME/.tor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(fix for running as root; https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6259)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and also consider adapting ~/.vidalia/torrc or /etc/tor/torrc accordingly:

In order to use Vidalia and Tor with Firefox you can use FoxyProxy or
|
|
|
|
|
Privoxy. You can also configure Firefox network settings for a SOCKSv5
|
|
|
|
|
proxy; any other browser that supports SOCKSv5 proxies is ok to use too.

As of version 0.2.10 vidalia supports the local GeoIP database from
|
|
|
|
|
MaxMind. If the package hasn't been built with GEOIP=no, edit your
|
|
|
|
|
vidalia.conf to enable using the database via the
|
|
|
|
|
"UseLocalGeoIpDatabase" and "LocalGeoIpDatabase" options. For example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[General]
|
|
|
|
|
UseLocalGeoIpDatabase=true
|
|
|
|
|
LocalGeoIpDatabase=/var/lib/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat
|
