I saw there is an extension for FireFox that works with Tor. Any possibility of adapting it for KM?

If the Torbutton extension should not be adaptable, which
would have to be checked, it would probably be possible
to get a similar function using macros.
Provided someone takes the time to write such a macro.

Any Tor relay located in the U.S. is just a honey pot for the NSA.

As I remember, you can set exclusions for relays. Not sure if that is a practical thing to do.

The macro would basically only change from Direct Connection
(without Tor) to Manual Proxy Settings in Preferences.
Go first to Preferences/Proxy and set all fields on the left
to 127.0.0.1 , and all on the right to 8118 except the one
for Socks which has to be set to 9050.
Leave the radio button on top at "Direct Connection".

If you should need buttons in the toolbar, I would create a
green and a red bitmap rectangle each of 16x16 pixels.
That is easy to achieve in any image program, simply create a file
of 16x16 pixels and fill it with a selected color.
Call the two bitmaps torred.bmp and torgreen.bmp .
Put the two .bmp's into the skin folder, that you use,
for example Phoenity.

For KM 1.1.5 or similar with a "macros" folder inside the
K-Meleon main folder create a file Netproxy.kmm .
Open notepad and paste the following :


$netproxy = "network.proxy.type";
ProxyToggle{
togglepref(INT, $netproxy, 1,0); &Sync2;
getpref(INT, $netproxy) == "0" ? $tip = "DirectConnection" : $tip = "ProxyOn";
statusbar("Proxy " . $tip);
}
Sync2{
setcheck("macros(ProxyToggle)", getpref(INT, $netproxy));
pluginmsg(toolbars, "CheckButton", "Tor button, macros(ProxyToggle), " . (getpref(INT, $netproxy) ? 1 : 0));
}


Save the file as Netproxy.kmm inside the "macros" folder inside the
K-Meleon main folder.

Go to the skin folder, where the new bitmaps are and open
toolbars.cfg with notepad. At the bottom (before the EXAMPLE)
paste the following :

Tor button{
Tor button{
macros(ProxyToggle)
ProxyToggle
torred.bmp[0]
torgreen.bmp[0]
}
}

Don't forget all the brackets. Go in notepad to File/Save and
save toolbar.cfg to its origin (as .cfg , not as .txt).
Restart the browser. The new button may be in a new line, but
you can pull it whereever you want. The status bar will give status info.

PS:
In KM 1.02 , and in other older versions, where there is no folder "macros",
but a macros.cfg in your profile or in default, you must open this macros.cfg
in Edit/Configuration/Macros and put the content of Netproxy.kmm
at the bottom of the macros.cfg file. Save it then to its origin, as macros.cfg,
not as .txt. After a browser restart, the button should also appear.

I hope that you'll succeed.
Regards
Fred

http://www.anonymityanywhere.com/tork/ is probably the easiest way to
do it.

So ... has anyone tried, do Tor & K-Meleon go together?

@ra

It's working like it works with any other browser.
You only have to download Tor (the small package for experts is just fine) and set K-Meleon to listen on Port:9050 :
HTTP:127.0.0.1 - Port:0
FTP:127.0.0.1 - Port:0
SSL:127.0.0.1 - Port:0
Gopher:127.0.0.1 - Port:0
SOCKS:127.0.0.1 - Port:9050

ra, yes.

p.s. Non experts can try to use the Torpark package & place a renamed K-Meleon into the Firefox directory, because Torpark reacts to anything called Firefox.exe if it is in the right directory

& ra, man kann k-m wie gesagt z. B. statt (als) FF in eine Torpark Umgebung setzen.
Das wurde in General schon publiziert als Torpark 1.5.0.8 neu war & da warst du bereits hier.
