Disabling automatic port selection in TBB doesn't work
When using Vidalia (TBB/Linux) unselecting the 'Configure ControlPort automatically' check box has no effect, and upon restart the check box is again selected. Therefore, it is not possible via the Vidalia interface to use static ports for SOCKS/Control. The following manual process works, and must be applied once for each new TBB download:
-
edit Data/Vidalia/vidalia.conf and set:
AutoControl=false
-
edit Data/Tor/torrc and set:
SocksPort 9050
