Category: other Group: None >Status: Pending Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Bob (usarebel) >Assigned to: Fabian Keil (fabiankeil) >Summary: 503: Connect failed (Tor and maybe firewall related) Initial Comment: Whenever I turn on Privoxy, I can not connect to any website. Turn it off, and everything's fine. I have spent HOURS tweaking the proxy settings and reading documentation. I'm not even sure if the problem is Tor or Privoxy. With Tor enabled, I get the Privoxy 503 page whether Privoxy is enabled or not. This seems to be just a browser issue-my other apps are still able to connect, even with the Network Location using proxy. I'm using FF 2.0.0.4 and Safari 2.04 on OSX 10.4.10. I noticed that Tor sets the FF Network settings to Socks 5, but I read that Privoxy works with Socks 4. Don't know if that has anything to do with it. I doubt it or I'm sure you'd have caught it by now. I have TorButton installed, as well as the Tor/Vidalia/Privoxy 0.1.2.14-0.0.11-tiger bundle, downloaded and installed on 6-23-07. I had a previous version installed already, but rarely used it due to massive slowdown, even on high-speed Internet connection but I upgraded and started trying to use Tor & Privoxy, and am having difficulty. As directed, I set my Network proxy settings to 127.0.0.1, to protect Safari and other apps. When my Location is set to use proxies, Safari is immediately cut off. I get this message: This is Privoxy 3.0.6 on localhost (127.0.0.1), port 8118, enabled. Your request for http://google.com/ could not be fulfilled, because the connection to google.com (127.0.0.1) could not be established. If I refresh I get this: Safari can’t open the page “http://google.com/” because your computer isn’t connected to the Internet. FF still works with TorButton disabled and Privoxy also disabled. As soon as I enable Tor, and Privoxy also becomes enabled, FF gets the 503 page, and I'm cut off again. If I disable Privoxy but leave Tor enabled, I still can't connect. If I change my Location to not use proxies, Safari can connect but FF still can't connect with Tor enabled. Here's the request headers. Doesn't mean anything to me, but I do see "connection: close" at the end.

Maybe it's listing somewhere else, not even running or your "Mac firewall" sabotages the connection. Did you try without it? You'll either have to fix your Tor setup, or turn off socks forwarding in Privoxy (which would mean Privoxy uses direct connections and your IP address is no longer hidden - probably not what you want). To fix this, I recommend you start with the instructions in the Privoxy FAQ and follow the links from there: http://www.privoxy.org/faq/misc.html#TOR ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=211118&aid=1742818&group_id=11118 |
