| Does anyone have a great useful and readable tutorial thats easy to use on how to create a proxy on a mac and/or windows? Also, exactly what are all the features that a proxy can do, besides what I already know. Can you make yourself anonymous via proxy? |

| Creating a proxy would only mean people would be able to use YOU to anonymize their traffic, not the other way around. Try finding a HTTP proxy on www.xroxy.com.

| Run Privoxy, then right click the onion in your quick launch area (to the left of the time) and hit Enable (I think that's it), then wait a few seconds for it to acquire a route. You can get TorButton for Firefox (it's an addon) to toggle Vidalia on and off. Otherwise it won't work (you have to input the settings manually).

| ooo ok. i thought so. well my friend told me that i have to download some servers or something in order for it to fully work. also ive heard this thing on "4chan" where a guy had seven proxies. what does he mean, and is it possible. what does it do and how does it effect you? |

| You don't have to set up any server, just download Vidalia. Your friend was probably thinking you wanted to SET UP a proxy yourself which wouldn't give you any anonymity (cause..it's your computer!). "Seven proxies" is just a meme on 4chan about people trying to track you down through your IP being thwarted by being behind an insane number of proxies. Tor does technically put you through quite a few different "nodes".
