Peter Palfrader 644452a62f Change the default for MAX_FILEDESCRIPTORS in our init script to depend on the
number of system-wide available file descriptors: /proc/sys/fs/file-max is
bigger than 100k, set ulimit -n to 32k, if it's smaller than 20k set it to
1024.  Big servers at the moment regularly use more than 10k FDs, so our old
default of 8k no longer is sufficient.  On the other hand we don't want lower
end systems to run out of FDs on Tor's account.

Tor only provides TCP layer anonymity.  It does not do any protocol
cleaning, so if you are going to browse the web you still give away a
lot of information to servers.

The privoxy package provides a privacy enhancing HTTP proxy, which
is good at filtering headers, cookies, and much more.  To view the
description of the Debian privoxy package just run "apt-cache show
privoxy".  Please refer to the privoxy documentation for more details.

In order to use privoxy over tor, add the following line to your
privoxy configuration file:
	forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 .
(the dot is important)

Then configure your browser to use privoxy as its HTTP proxy.
