# apt-get install tor privoxy

Edit /etc/privoxy/config and uncomment the following line:

 forward-socks4a   /               127.0.0.1:9050 .

Then restart the service

# /etc/init.d/privoxy restart

http 127.0.0.1 port 8118

E.g. for wget:

$ export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8118/

The extension torbutton provides an easy way to toggle the usage of Tor

To test privoxy, try to access the following page: http://p.p/

socks5 127.0.0.1 port 9050

Or for applications without proxy configuration available, check torify which uses LD_PRELOAD, e.g.

$ torify irssi

The extension Foxyproxy for Firefox contains already a pre-configured "Tor" setting on which you can add URL matches or use it all the time.

To test Tor, try to access the following hidden service: http://duskgytldkxiuqc6.onion/
