|
|
|
<p><font color="#009999">SelekTOR Advanced Preferences Options</font></p>
|
|
|
<p><strong>Tor Listening Port</strong><br/>
|
|
|
The main listening port
|
|
|
on which the Tor client will listen for incoming connections, usually
|
|
|
from whichever proxy server you are using. Port 9054 is the SelekTOR
|
|
|
default.</p>
|
|
|
<p><strong>Tor Bridge Address</strong><br/>
|
|
|
If you need to bypass an
|
|
|
ISP block then enter a valid TOR bridge address in here.<br/>
|
|
|
Use the
|
|
|
button “Get Bridges” to find valid TOR bridge addresses.</p>
|
|
|
<p><strong>Safe Socks</strong><br/>
|
|
|
When enabled, Tor will reject
|
|
|
application connections that use unsafe variants of the socks
|
|
|
protocol — ones that only provide an IP address, meaning the
|
|
|
application is doing a DNS resolve first. Specifically, these are
|
|
|
socks4 and socks5 when not doing remote DNS.</p>
|
|
|
<p><strong>Warn Unsafe</strong><br/>
|
|
|
When enabled, Tor will warn
|
|
|
whenever a request is received that only contains an IP address
|
|
|
instead of a hostname. Allowing applications to do DNS resolves
|
|
|
themselves is usually a bad idea and can leak your location to
|
|
|
attackers.</p>
|
|
|
<p><strong>Test Socks</strong><br/>
|
|
|
When enabled, Tor will make a
|
|
|
notice-level log entry for each connection to the Socks port
|
|
|
indicating whether the request used a safe socks protocol or an
|
|
|
unsafe one (see above entry on SafeSocks). This helps to determine
|
|
|
whether an application using Tor is possibly leaking DNS requests.</p>
|
|
|
<p><strong>Logging Level</strong><br/>
|
|
|
Set the Tor client logging
|
|
|
level, all output is to StdOut console to avoid disk writes.</p>
|
|
|
<p><strong>Safe Logging</strong><br/>
|
|
|
When enabled, Tor will scrub
|
|
|
potentially sensitive strings from log messages (e.g. addresses) by
|
|
|
replacing them with the string [scrubbed]. This way logs can still be
|
|
|
useful, but they don’t leave behind personally identifying
|
|
|
information about what sites a user might have visited.</p>
|
|
|
<p><strong>Avoid Disk Writes</strong><br/>
|
|
|
When enabled, Tor will try
|
|
|
to write to disk less frequently than we would otherwise. This is
|
|
|
useful when running on flash memory or other media that support only
|
|
|
a limited number of writes.</p>
|
|
|
<p><strong>Startup Arguments</strong><br/>
|
|
|
This will pass any user
|
|
|
specified startup arguments to the Tor client, see Tor Manual for a
|
|
|
list of valid command line arguments.</p>
|
|
|
<p><strong>Default HTTP Proxy</strong><br/>
|
|
|
You can specify a
|
|
|
downstream proxy server here, anything not routed through TOR will be
|
|
|
sent to the proxy server. Leaving it blank will mean anything not
|
|
|
routed through TOR will go directly to the net, this is the default.</p>
|
|
|
<p><font color="#009999">TOR Client Monitor</font></p>
|
|
|
<p><strong>Startup Arguments<br/>
|
|
|
</strong>This displays all the
|
|
|
arguments that are passed at startup to the Tor client.</p>
|
|
|
<p><strong>StdOut Monitor<br/>
|
|
|
</strong>This displays the output from
|
|
|
the Tor clients Stdout logging stream in realtime.</p>
|
|
|
<p><font color="#009999">SelekTOR Pattern Editing</font></p>
|
|
|
<p><strong>Proxy Pattern Editor</strong><br/>
|
|
|
The pattern editor
|
|
|
allows you to modify, add, delete or disable URL patterns used to
|
|
|
redirect specific URL’s via the Tor socks proxy. Only use this if
|
|
|
you know what you are doing as any errors made here can cause
|
|
|
proxying to fail completely.</p>
|
|
|
<p><strong>Quick Add Pattern</strong><br/>
|
|
|
Quick add pattern allows
|
|
|
you to quickly add a new pattern for the currently active country. An
|
|
|
example is given below:</p>
|
|
|
<p>Description: Newzbin<br/>
|
|
|
Pattern: *newzbin.com*</p>
|
|
|
<p><strong>Import Patterns</strong><br/>
|
|
|
Pattern files are stored in
|
|
|
a ZIP file. This zip file can be directly imported into SelekTOR
|
|
|
using this action.</p>
|
|
|
<p><strong>Export Patterns</strong><br/>
|
|
|
This allows you to export
|
|
|
all your user created pattern files as a SelekTOR compatible zipped
|
|
|
import file.</p>
