Windows Tor Vidalia bundle Setup
This tutorial will teach you how to setup the tor Vidalia bundle with latest tor exe files so you can easily have an auto start tor Vidalia process/proxy on boot without having to do command line shenanigans with their expert bundle.
First off I want to state that they for whatever reason no longer provide updates to the windows tor Vidalia bundle since like 2012 which is sad as it’s so helpful. Unsure of the reason for the lack of updates, but my tutorial will help you get setup and patch the bundles old tor with the latest version.
Privacy Vidalia is a cross-platform controller GUI for Tor, built using the Qt framework. Vidalia runs on any platform supported by Qt 4.1, including Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux or other Unix variants using the X11 window system. Using Vidalia, you can Read more. Vidalia for Mac is a Tor package offered in different forms, one being a bundle that includes three different programs. The bundle includes a Tor client, the Vidalia GUI, and the Privoxy filtering.
First off for those curious I grabbed the most recent tor Vidalia bundle from their archive.
Main file you need is
The Tor IM Browser Bundle additionally allows instant messaging and chat over Tor. Mac OS X will automatically unarchive it and you will have a TorBrowser application. Click the TorBrowser application to launch Vidalia. Once Vidalia connects to Tor, it will launch the Tor Browser. Requirements: OS X. Vidalia Bundle for Mac OS X - Download Notice. Using Vidalia Bundle for Mac OS X Free Download crack, warez, password, serial numbers, torrent, keygen, registration codes, key generators is illegal and your business could subject you to lawsuits and leave your operating systems without patches. We do not host any torrent files or links of Vidalia Bundle for Mac OS X on rapidshare.com. We do not recommend installing additional add-ons or plugins into Tor Browser. Plugins or addons may bypass Tor or compromise your privacy. Tor Browser already comes with HTTPS Everywhere, NoScript, and other patches to protect your privacy and security.
They signed it as well so feel free to check the file checksum if you’re feeling extra paranoid.
Now what you want to do is install this Vidalia bundle, but do not install the tor button in options. Once installed do not run it yet if prompted.
Now that we have the Vidalia gui installed we can update the tor binary exes with the latest version from the tor expert bundle. Which provides an up to date tor install along with the Vidalia gui for easy start stop/change identity options and whatnot and for easy always on proxy support via socks5 for apps like pidgin/electrum/ or whatever you need to torrify.
To update the tor binary exes we can update tor by grabbing the latest tor expert bundle for windows from their site
Now download and unzip this into the directory
C:Program Files (x86)Vidalia BundleTor
This should overwrite the old tor exes and whatnot
Make sure you extract the data directory from the zip into the tor Vidalia directory (C:Program Files (x86)Vidalia BundleTor) as well as into root of the Vidalia install (C:Program Files (x86)Vidalia Bundle) as well
Your directories should look like mine below.
Now you can start Vidalia bundle and it should connect to tor and be using latest version of tor with the Vidalia gui.
Now you can use localhost:9050 for any apps you want to proxy with tor via socks 5.
Compatibility
Windows
This is known to work on windows 7,8,8.1,10 and probably xp if for whatever reason your using that still.
Possibly work for MAC??? Needs testing
I believe this method should work for MAC as well as I see they have dmg image there too. Patching that with new binaries should be be fairly simple for any MAC enthusiast.
Linux
Vidalia bundle is also in Opensuse extra repos for those looking for an easy way to use installs easily via 1click yast and is nice OS with security updates and linux desktop with gui.

Vidalia Bundle For Mac Download
© May 2019 Anthony LawrenceI'm sure some people have reasons to want to hide their true identity when browsing the internet. Some of the reasons that immediately come to mind involve illegal or immoral activity, but really there are legitimate reasons also. Tor users aren't necessarily shady characters or people prone to wearing tin-foil hats.
I downloaded the Vidalia Bundle for OS X. This includes Tor, Vidalia (a Tor GUI ), Torbutton (a Firefox tool to control your use of Tor), and Privoxy (a filtering web proxy) into one package, with everything ready to work together. You'll find full instructions for that bundle at https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-osx.html.en.
You need to have Firefox shutdown while doing the install because it starts up another copy to add Torbutton. You are also asked to reboot. That always raises my eyebrows: just WHAT did you do to my system that requires a restart? A proxy server shouldn't have to hook very deeply into the OS - it just needs to sit on a port. Why the restart? I don't like that.
I could not get Torbutton to work. I couldn't even get it to show its buttons and while I did have it installed it prevented Firefox from closing down. This may be because I use NoScript; Torbutton flat out states that they don't like Noscript:
Torbutton currently mitigates all known anonymity issues with Javascript. While it may be tempting to get better security by disabling Javascript for certain sites, you are far better off with an all-or-nothing approach. NoScript is exceedingly complicated, and has many subtleties that can surprise even advanced users. For example, addons.mozilla.org verifies extension integrity via Javascript over https, but downloads them in the clear. Not adding it to your whitelist effectively means you are pulling down unverified extensions. Worse still, using NoScript can actually disable protections that Torbutton itself provides via Javascript, yet still allow malicious exit nodes to compromise your anonymity via the default whitelist (which they can spoof to inject any script they want).
I really can't agree that I'm better off with all or nothing, but there it is. As Torbutton is largely convenience anyway, and as I really have no plans to use Tor extensively anyway, I decided not to pursue the reasons for this failure and just configured Firefox preferences to use localhost:8118 as its proxy. That was simple for Firefox and Opera, but Safari doesn't specify proxies directly. It calls up the OS X network preference pane instead. I could not make that work except for Safari. That is, if I configured my Ethernet connection to use the proxy, Safari would use it but Opera and Firefox would not. That seems wrong. I would have expected the Ethernet configuration to affect everything, but it didn't.
I think I'd rather have per-browser configuration anyway. If I did have reason to use Tor, I'd probably use it with one specific browser rather than wanting to use it for everything.
But as I said, I have no pressing reason to use Tor anyway. It might be handy now and then if I were testing web scripts that key on IP, but that doesn't come up very often. I just can't think of any other reason I need this.
How about the rest of you? Do you use Tor for anything specific? Or is this conspiracy theorist realm for you?

There are real risks involved. Your risks from NOT using this would have to be very high before you should consider this. This isn't for some paranoid tin foil hat type who thinks the government cares about their private browsing.
