In my last post I described how to use Squid and Privoxy to enhance your privacy while surfing the internet. We want to push this a little bit further by adding onion routing with Tor. If you heard about Tor but don’t really know how it works, I suggest reading the Tor overview first.

Enhancing your privacy using Squid and Privoxy

If you would like to surf the internet anonymously I’ll show you how to use Squid and Privoxy for this purpose. First we’ll configure Squid to filter some HTTP header fields. After this, web servers will most likely think that we aren’t requesting content through a proxy but rather directly with our browser. We will see that we can’t manipulate all HTTP header fields without running into problems: Privoxy will help us here.
