Maintaining Cyber Anonymity with Fedora Linux

I'll show you how to remain anonymous with your activities on the internet and browse securely.
This helps you keep your identity hidden.

Requirements:
Fedora Linux(Fedora 12 preferable)
Tor
Privoxy
Mozilla Firefox browser


1. Install Tor and Privoxy on your Fedora box
#yum install privoxy tor

2. Using the vi editor,as root, edit the privoxy config file to include this line
forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 .
This can be found few lines after the line which reads
# 5.2. forward-socks4, forward-socks4a and forward-socks5
comment out the line:
jarfile jarfile

#vi /etc/privoxy/conf

3. Start the privoxy and tor services
#service privoxy start
#service tor start
Start up your Mozilla Firefox. Edit your network settings to include privoxy as your proxy server and tor as your socks server.

We are done. 3 simple steps.

Watch out for my next article when I put up a code for monitoring bot activity on your ssh server running off CentOS,Fedora or RedHat.
