http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-26 ... art-0.html should work

except it's

Code: Select all

emerge net-misc/tor
emerge net-proxy/privoxy

in /etc/privoxy/config line 1384 feels better to me, but as stated in that post anywhere in the file will do.
And when you configure your browser use port 9050 instead of 8118, did you stumble into any problems in particularly?

I like to use foxyproxy on firefox as well http://www.ehow.com/how_7500941_use-fox ... ivoxy.html

If all you want is to do is to use Tor when browsing, the Tor project group advises that you use the Tor Browser Bundle (TBB) instead of using different pieces. See https://www.torproject.org for more details.

Tor browser bundle available for download from tor site. It is standalone portable bundle, so no need to install it, just unpack archive and run 'tor-start-browser' file. It will start Vidalia and Firefox 17 that included in bundle
