Thank you for your reply, Mr. Glenn. I gave up on the Pi/TOR idea .. couldn't get any help. I have a new PI 2 sitting here unboxed. Might see what I can do with it. Weird thing is, in the VIDALIA list of people, I see Raspberry throughout the list. Many people are doing what I TRIED to do, but

The previous version of Tor Bundle did not do this. I have a utility which claims to allow me a static IP. I have not used it yet, but ....
I will look into it and put a static IP in torrc if possible.
This thread is still open to anyone with comments, suggestions, advice. Thank you for

On a previous version of Tor Bundle, I was running a non-exit relay. Noticed an announcement there is a new version available ... torbrowser-install-3.5_en-US.exe. To my surprise, it does not come with Vidalia and I did not know how to set up my relay without it (Vidalia). I went and got vidalia-

I have Tor Bundle on 2 Windows machines and one Linux machine. All 3 are set up the same in Vidalia (except different Nicknames). No apparent problems on Linux machine, but on both Windows machines:

Run

and look what it shows. What processes eat more CPU?"Danja"
None in particular AT FIRST, but after several minutes, Vidalia shoots up to 90% along with Chromium increasing also.
Which brings me to a couple of sophomoric questions. Obviously if I am running a relay, I am

I am sorry to say ... maybe I spoke too soon. Yes .. it seems to work .... but CPU is running at 100% and Chrome (torified) is so slow as to be unusable. If a fix occurs to you, I would like to tune it up ... if not ...will probably abandon the whole idea. I never thought running Tor on a Raspber

You can start Chromium in console, this will definitely work:
# /usr/bin/chromium --proxy-server="socks5://127.0.0.1:9050""Danja"
It works!!! at least I think it does. First, I click on Vidalia, then execute Chromium
/usr/bin/chromium --proxy-server="socks5://127.0.0.1:9050"

Then, let's configure it via the command line!
Run Chromium with this switch:
--proxy-server="socks5://127.0.0.1:9050"

Oh, wait. Midori 0.5.0 and later does supports SOCKS5 proxies, so you don't need Polipo, you can use Tor directly. My bad. )
So put this settings in Midori:
Host: 127.0.0.1
Port: 9050
Type: Socks5 proxy
Here are some onion links, to check if it is working:

So.. It's working?
Can you access *.onion sites now?"Danja"
Uh dunno. uhm .... since this is not the bundle, ... with a preconfigured Firefox like on Windows ... I would use Midori .. which I ONLY THINK is now configured for Tor. Not sure about that. Tell me how to test it, please. All

Set Vidalia to be an Exit Relay.

Omg, why??
PS: It seems, that your Tor doesnt stop when Vidalia stops. You should stop it manually before running Vidalia again:

I REALLY appreciate the help from everyone. Here is the situation ... been learning all about Tor/Onion/hidden web, etc etc on a windows machine for a few weeks. I installed the Tor BUNDLE. I was hoping to reproduce the same thing on the Raspberry Pi. If that means Tor, Vidalia, and a browser ..

Thank you so much for sticking with me on this.
Tor from repository is OK, don't uninstall it "TOR Hacker"
Right.
Maybe you also have Vidalia in your Raspberry repositories?
It sure is. I will install it soon as I finish this reply

So the only thing you need is Tor.
Here is how to install it: http://www.torproject.org.in/download/d ... ix.html.en
Many versions at that link. Which one for RPi ARM?? I recently got scolded for trying an i686 BUNDLE pkg and not realizing Pi is ARM .... not Intel.
