Configuration

How to configure Polipo to work with Tor

To configure Polipo to work with Tor, replace the initial /etc/polipo/config file with a pre-configured one:

$ cd /etc/polipo
$ sudo mv config config.bak
$ sudo wget -O config http://gitweb.torproject.org/torbrowser.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/build-scripts/config/polipo.conf

Restart Polipo to apply the new configuration:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/polipo restart

Check that both Tor and Polipo are running:

$ sudo nmap -sS -sV -p8118,9050 127.0.0.1
