Setting up Tor-Proxy for google chrome - cr33pyguy - 02-10-2014

So, I do have Tor Browser on my computer for any more... sensitive browsing. However, I prefer Google Chrome to Tor, and therefore use it for other browsing. Sometimes, I want to switch to using proxy for a while, without having to open Tor browser, and deal with the interface that is, let it be admitted, less pleasant.

ATTENTION! Only works on Windows, as far as I've tested!

So, here's what you need:
  • The Tor Browser - Link
  • Google Chrome - Link
  • Proxy SwitchySharp - Link

    So, now that you have all of that installed, open up chrome, and go to the top right corner, and second-click the globe icon (Proxy SwitchySharp). From the menu choose options, which will take you to the options page of the plugin.

    On the screenshot above you can already see what you need to enter, but let's go over it anyway.
    First, click on "create new profile", and then enter for SOCKS host:
    Code:
    127.0.0.1
    which, I'm sure you know, is the IP of the local computer.
    for the port enter:
    Code:
    9050
    Spoiler: if not working
    If this port doesn't work for you, go to your vidalia panel, click settings, go to the "advanced" tab, and then click "Edit current trrc. the SOCKS port is there.

    After this, remember to check "SOCKS v5", name the profile (optional: choose it's color) and save the settings.

    Now, next we are going to make clicking on the Proxy SwitchySharp icon switch proxies. To do this click on the General tab on the Proxy SwitchySharp options page.

    Make sure "Quick Switch" is checked, and drag up the names of the proxies you want to switch between (topmost is default).

    Now, once you exit the options page, and click on the globe icon on the top right of your browser. it will cycle through the proxies you have set, changing the color of the globe to the color of the currently selected proxy.

    Don't be afraid to post here, or PM me any questions.

    Have fun, Cr33py

Hah, well...I'm tired Wink

Spoiler:
...but if you insist; "click on create new profile" is wrong, as "create a new profile" is the quoted text, and should be highlighted as such.

I'm not sure "second-click" is an actual word, but it's nice, as some people use their mouse with their left hand, so "right-click" would make no sense.

...but other than that; it's...understandable Wink

Also, It should be "Google Chome" with capitals. As it's a name.

OT: Great tutorial!
