tor/debian
Peter Palfrader c6a7ab729c Update debian defaults in preparation for starting as root.
Previously the debian defaults were only loaded when we started Tor as
the debian-tor user.  Now they are also loaded when started as root.
In addition to logging, pidfile, datadir and runasdaemon we also change
the User and Group options from their NULL default to "debian-tor" so that
Tor correctly setuids/setgids to the role user the package created.

This will allow us to start the daemon as root.

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.
