今天第一篇，转载的是我的朋友Forrest Sheng Bao 的 Blog 中专门为中国大陆用户所写怎样使用Tor穿越GFW. 原文针对Linux用户，关于Windows的配置可以参见这里。

Question 1: What is Tor?
Tor is a connection-based low-latency anonymous communication system which
addresses many flaws in the original onion routing design. In brief, Onion Routing is a connection-oriented anonymizing communication service.
The latest information can be found at http://tor.eff.org/, or on the mailing lists, archived at http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/ or http://archives.seul.org/or/announce/.
Question 2: What is Privoxy?
Privoxy is a web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for protecting privacy, filtering web page content, managing cookies, controlling access, and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a very flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes.
Question 3: Can Tor and Privoxy help those people in Communism countries?
Yes.
Question 4: How to install Tor and Privoxy?
Linux Users:
I can here only provide the solution to install them on Debian or Debian-based Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, Xandros, MEPIS. I will use Ubuntu as the example.
For Fedora/Red Hat Linux users, maybe you can find the RPM package on their supporting websites or using YUM to install.
For SuSE Linux users, please use YaST2 to install them.
Other Linux distribution users, please search on the Internet or consulting BBS, Mail list, etc.
FreeBSD Users:
Tor and Privoxy can work on FreeBSD, you can use port to install or you can download the source to compile by yourself.
Mac OS X Users:
I know Tor and Privoxy can work on Mac OS X. But I haven’t tried.
Windows Users:
Please ask your locate help.
To install Tor and Privoxy on Ubuntu Linux, just run following command
sudo apt-get install tor privoxy
Question 5: What to do after the installation?
Go to this URL:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2275/
Click the “Install Now” button to install it. A windows for installation will popup. After the installation, restart Firefox. You will see a button at the right bottom of Firefox.
Open Privoxy’s “config” file (look in /etc/privoxy/ or /usr/local/etc/) and add the line
<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" >forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 .</span>
to the top of the config file. Don’t forget to add the dot at the end.
Privoxy keeps a log file of everything passed through it. In order to stop this you will need to comment out three lines by inserting a # before the line. The three lines are:
<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" >logfile logfile</span>
and the line
<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">jarfile jarfile</span>
and (on some systems) the line
<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" >debug 1 # show each GET/POST/CONNECT request</span>
You’ll need to restart Privoxy(if you are a newbie of Linux, just reboot the computer) for the changes to take effect.

总的来说，这个感恩节很舒服。
早早的就有同学在Facebook上问感恩节怎么过？一个同学的美国同学在家主持一个聚会(party), 于是我们就去了。那个美国同学计算机本科毕业，现在在创业，据说网站一个月PV上百万了，这个是非常怕人的数字了（我的这个同学的网站PV也差不多要上十万了，美国创业气氛之浓，连在我们这个大农村都能感觉到) 言归正传，那个美国同学开一小跑来接我们，到了他家才发现他家 离我家不到500米，哈哈，所以晚上玩到很晚 ：）
过去以后，先认识了一帮朋友，有巴西的材料工程师和他的儿子女儿，有来自马来西亚的，德国的，自然还有中国和美国啦。还有两个女生搞了半天也想不起来哪个国家的了… 多元文化带来的是无穷的话题，吃饭之前的闲聊让大家熟悉起来。 饭是他祖母做的，那个老太太已经年纪很大了，左手手臂也不灵活，可是准备了满满一桌子菜，让我们这些好久没有吃大餐的人口水满地。美国人习惯做好吃的沙拉，生吃蔬菜，做通心面，烤牛肉。当然感恩节缺不了大大的火鸡啦。恩，非常美味！
最搞笑的是吃完饭随便聊天。先从我的名字说起，因为我现在都自称Eric了，他们就问我中文名叫什么。本人名字恰好是”You”, 记得第一节课老师讲”You”, 全班老美全笑了。现在老师要不然就叫我”尤”，要不就Eric了。 我和那两个美国女孩讲了以后她们就开始搞笑，什么How are You, 什么You are or You is. 还很搞的说你爸妈是不是叫你Hi You, 我只好告诉他们我爸妈说中文… 当然我也拿她们名字说事了，一个女孩叫Brooks, 我就说 you family name must be Stone or Water, just a beautiful place and girl. 结果她说我很会夸奖人… 我极度抓狂的是我说在家看 “talk show“, 一个女孩故意说我发音不标准，把鞋拿上来对着鞋说 “Hello shoe, I am talking to you!” 啊，我说的真的是show 不是 shoe 啊… 到最后走的时候居然还对我的鞋说了句hello, 大家暴笑。 他们还问中国的风土人情的，特别是听说中国没有教堂, 大感诧异. 我只好说看过Forrest Gamp吧, Gamp早就知道这个了。为了不给美国人造成中国没教堂是政府限制的映像，我花了几分钟讲中国的宗教自由和民族平等（恩，看看我这个党的好儿女，快解封我的Blog呀GFW).
来美国前有人就说一般美国人见到中国人都要装模做样学个 “你好” “谢谢”，这不，两个坐我旁边的美国女孩要我教她们。我教了以后怂恿他们去和其他的中国人说话，我拿DV在后面拍，其中一个女孩说的太标准了，以至于我的中国同学说”Oh my god, you can speak Chinese”. 那个女生来了个更绝的（I am living in the United States but made in China）这句话在当时说出来实在太搞了，因为昨天她们带了一个美国国旗来本来要给我们宣传美国文化，结果国旗上的小标签赫然写着 made in China (中国制造). 天哪，她们当时窘的一塌，于是发誓再也不去Walmart了. 说完这段，她们开始索取中文名，于是一个叫linyci 的我就叫她 林夕了（王菲迷林夕迷勿打我），还有那个叫 Brooks Miller的干脆叫 苗乐溪， 这个不是我起名字的最高境界，大家勿笑 ：）不管我说什么，这两个美国女生总是插科打诨，比如talk shoe, 比如说我们计算机就是研究一个动物叫calculator. 比如说我相信进化论就是从猴子来的，说 big bang 的时候是上帝吃饱了打了个嗝，这些让我的确认识到了美国人的幽默精神和对宗教的虔诚。后来有加入一个女孩，说从朋友台湾带来一个东西，白蓝相间没耳朵的猫，我知道是机器猫但是我不会说，说多啦A梦人家也不知道，结果旁边一个兄弟太搞了 直译为mechanical cat. 我倒掉。那个女生以为我们不懂，于是用笔开始画。于是我终于体会到了那个著名的签名档的含义：
恐怖片我推荐《机器猫》 你看那主演多可怕,蓝色的皮肤,巨大的眼镜,完全没有比例变形的身材,没有耳朵,一张巨嘴,随时可以打开自己躯体取出东西。
天哪，还是mechanical cat, 在这个巨强的翻译后，那个女生开始怀疑用它做储蓄罐是否合适了。
昨天晚上搞笑的大致就这些了，11点多才走回家，一边暴笑，一边想着今天吃什么。昨天特别向美国人请教感恩节怎么过，得到时间表一张。大致是早上出去踢球运动，下午洗个澡在家火鸡大餐，然后看NFL. 俺们既然在美国，也就这么干了。 一早起来，吃早饭后拿上单排，一路小跑到forrest park, 开始在park自行车专用道上玩。在绕park半圈后，终于忍不住喷泉，高尔夫和溜狗美景的诱惑，脱了鞋从草坪上一路穿过高尔夫球场，看见若干人湖边钓鱼，恩，下次我也来钓！ 又晃悠了半圈，有点背痛，看来体质下降了，于是打道回府。沿途球场上小学生无数，都在打橄榄球。
回家开始大办酒席，今日中午有油炸带鱼 水煮虾 烤火鸡 草莓香蕉苹果猕猴桃橙子 菠萝沙拉 蔬菜沙拉 石榴酱 顺带说，石榴的颜色实在是漂亮，石榴的颗粒实在是很诱惑，怪不得有句话叫 石榴裙下死 做鬼也风流呀。恩，吃完石榴，写完Blog, 开始睡觉，争取做梦遇到石榴裙（不是石榴姐:）
