So, we've got now three browsers using three differents socks port to access the Tor network, and the last of ours browsers building a special doble circuit in the tor network combining different countries (this is not bad at all). Remember, we were here . But...the situation is so difficult...we've to protect us with more layers.
Let's introduce the layer 7 firewall Privoxy.
What is a layer 7 firewall? It's a firewall that work at the last layer of the ISO/OSI network stack, that in no technical user speaking is the URI, www.facebook.com, steemit.com/@npna ...
We like Russia, and we like матрёшка.
In this case we're doing the exact thing, encapsulate layer after layer our information to protect it from the privacy cannibals. Our dolls start from the navigator, go through privoxy and the will be routed to the Tor network. Let install privoxy from the OpenBSD precompiled packages with a simple command:
$ doas pkg_add -U privoxy
It will install those files and binaries:
$ pkg_info -L privoxy

/etc/rc.d/privoxyWe've only a little problem respect to Tor with privoxy. To concatenate three privoxy ports to three Tor ports we've to launch three differents privoxy instances. But with OpenBSD and to his clearness this is very simple. Let's go deep in the configuration:
- cd to the privoxy configuration directory:
$ cd /etc/privoxy
- copy default config file into three diferentes:
$ doas cp config firefox && doas cp config chrome && doas cp config torbrowser
- go to the OpenBSD rc.d directory:
$ cd /etc/rc.d
- copy the default privoxy init script in three diffents:
$ doas cp privoxy privoxyfirefox && doas cp privoxy privoxychrome && doas cp privoxy privoxytorbrowser
Ok all it's simple and without complications. Good, i love OpenBSD. The privoxy main configuration file is full of options and you have to dedicate a couple of ours to understand all the voices, or to simply read it. For now we use this basic configuration (in ours next chapters probably we will do some changes to it). Let's see together the one that will be used in the firefox environment:
$ cat /etc/privoxy/firefox

Privoxy send in every configuration file the http proxy port to a distinct socks port.
To create the others two execute this command:
# sed s/privoxyfirefox/privoxychrome/g privoxyfirefox | sed s/9900/9901/g > privoxychrome
# sed s/privoxychrome/privoxytorbrowser/g privoxychrome | sed s/9901/9902/g > privoxytorbrowser Now create the missing logs files with:
$ doas touch /var/log/privoxy/privoxyfirefox.log
$ doas touch /var/log/privoxy/privoxychrome.log
$ doas touch /var/log/privoxy/privoxytorbrowser.logAnd enable all the three at boot:
$ doas rcctl enable privoxyfirefox
$ doas rcctl set privoxyfirefox user _privoxy
$ doas rcctl set privoxyfirefox flags /etc/privoxy/firefox
$ doas rcctl enable privoxychrome
$ doas rcctl set privoxychrome user _privoxy
$ doas rcctl set privoxychrome flags /etc/privoxy/chrome
$ doas rcctl enable privoxytorbrowser
$ doas rcctl set privoxytorbrowser user _privoxy
$ doas rcctl set privoxytorbrowser flags /etc/privoxy/torbrowserAt last start the three daemons:
$ doas rcctl start privoxyfirefox
$ doas rcctl start privoxychrome
$ doas rcctl start privoxytorbrowser
- Firefox:
- Chrome: simply change
--proxy-server="socks5://127.0.0.1:9901"with-proxy-server="http://127.0.0.1:8801" - Torbrowser:
hackto disturb our favorites cannibals. Let's eliminate the HTTP header Refer:
# cat >> /etc/privoxy/user.filter << EOF
{ +crunch-client-header{Referer:} }
/
EOFAnd yes...for today is EOF
thank you and #changeNOW . please.
