Summary: Privoxy Doesn't Connect to any site. (with Tor)

Initial Comment:
I have Tor and Privoxy 3.0.6 running on Mac OS X 10.4.11, no firewall other than the \
one built-into Mac OS X.

This has worked before, but now for some reason Privoxy won't allow me to connect to \
any site while Tor is running. It doesn't matter how many times I click on the 'try \
again' link, it still fails every time. If I turn off Tor, everything works fine as \
before.

Is this a bug introduced with the latest release that's related to running it with \
Tor, or what? How can this be fixed or worked around, without turning off Tor?

/|\ A SOLUTION! /|\

Seeing as that you attempted to resolve this issue by disabling your
firewall, I'm assuming that you aren't technologically savvy. Internet
Explorer works fine because it has been automatically configured to use
Privoxy on the correct port it was assigned to use (localhost:8118)
Here is an idea as you have requested:
(1) Read the Manual -> Quick Start Guide - Done
(2) Open Mozilla Firefox -> Options... -> Advanced | Network (tab): Manual
Configuration:
Set HTTP; HTTP(SSL); oSOCKS v4; and FTP (to disable FTP connections) as: 
localhost | Port 8118  OR AS  127.0.0.1 (Loop-back) Port 8118
You can change the default settings and modify the config files in the
INSTALL~ directory to specify a different port number to use.

Also, did you know that anyone on Tor could be snooping on what you are
doing right now?
It is quite simple actually, and tech. savvy people who know how to set up
an endpoint node (very simple action) can see all the data and Internet
traffic going to and from your PC. A perfect Man-in-the-Middle situation
unless you have your ARP Cache locked away and your Route Tables static.
Unfortunately, not many people know what an ARPCache is or what MFT could
be or even heard of a Windows hosts file: system32\drivers\etc\
There are too many security issues, but this is but one idea I give you.

If it isn't that you have not configured the Mozilla Firefox web browser
to connect through Privoxy, then it may simply be a bug or faulty
installation. It can also be a number of other things, but I hope this
solves your problem.

If you actually read and followed the suggested FAQ entry at:
http://www.privoxy.org/faq/misc.html#TOR
you should by now either have a running system,
or be able to provide enough information for us to help you.

So far the reports are unfortunately too vague to be useful.

Same issue experienced on Win XP SP2 and Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.11. I
checked Vidalia to make sure Tor was running. 
Also tried using Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 through Privoxy without success.
Privoxy blocks off any attempt to connect. Disabling proxy use in each
application allows normal connection. 
Firefox was updated before this problem appeared - this means Privoxy
worked fine with v. 2.0.0.11. 
As a sideline, I tried opening IE7 which is configured to connect directly
- it worked fine even while Tor/Privoxy were running. 
Tried opening ports on firewall-no success.
Tried completely disabling firewall-no success.

I have a very similar problem. I can not disable/remove privoxy and
connect ot he internet. I dont care about "filter bypass" or anonymus
internet - I just want my old internet back! When I try and disable
Privoxy, i get a firefox error: Firefox is configured to use a proxy server
that is refusing connections.

*   Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.
*   Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is
working.



Someone, help me please!

I am also having the same problem right after Mozila browser update to
2.0.0.11. It was working fine with 2.0.0.10.

Yes, Torbutton says it's enabled, but the only thing I get now when trying
to connect is this error in Camino and Firefox:

The proxy server is refusing connections.
      
Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.

*   Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.
*   Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is

Went through the FAQ you mentioned and checked those things, but it still
gives me the same error message. This is the latest stable version of Tor
and Privoxy I have running.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I assume by "Tor is running" you mean Torbutton says
it's running? If yes, Tor probably isn't running.

Please have a look at:
http://www.privoxy.org/faq/misc.html#TOR
and provide more details if the FAQ entry
isn't enough to get it working.
