Hi Karsten, I'm not sure if this works for you, but I "installed" TBB and changed the Vidalia setting (Settings > Advanced) to not set the ControlPort automatically. I picked the old standard 9051. Then I edited the torrc and at least added SocksPort 127.0.0.1:1234 I'm also not sure if SocksPort 127.0.0.1:9050 is present by default or if I added it. (Could it be SocksListenAddress is still the default entry?) If Vidalia won't let you configure its own config from its interface you can add ControlPort=9051 to vidalia.conf Regards, Sebastian (bastik_tor) _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
