I’ve tried a few alternate solutions, nothing really works on Snow Leopard.

1. I can’t open the programme. Error Message “You can’t open the application “Vidalia.app” because it is not supported by this architecture.”

2. After I installed the Torbutton in Firefox by clicking on that “Install Torbutton for Firefox.app”, I cannot open any site in Firefox while Tor is activated. Error Message: Fehler: Proxy-Server verweigert die Verbindung Firefox wurde konfiguriert, einen Proxy-Server zu nutzen, der die Verbindung zurückweist. / Proxy server refuses the connection with firefox. firefox has been configured to use a proxy server, who refuses the connection.”

When I deactivate Tor everything is fine an I can surf.

Bur… I do want to surf WHILE Tor is beeing activated.

Any suggestions what to do? Please with answers for a non-computer-manic. ;-)Thanks a lot in advance!

Tor is running fine, but it isn’t working when i try to run firefox through tor. maybe I’m just a noob, but this is hard.

Anyone know why? And when a fix will be available?

Here’s the URL I found:
http://vidalia-project.net:8001/vidalia/vidalia-bundle-0.2.0.34-0.1.10-universal.dmg

Good luck!

Been searching for about an hour for one that isn’t blocked and not having any luck.

If any of you hardcore electronic freedom fighters wanted to email a copy of the mac version to clantoncs (At) gmail I’ll name my first child “TheAppleBlog.com”.

Also if I find a download link that isn’t censored here, I’ll come leave a reply– I’m sure I’m not the first person with this problem!

I just remember that it was so slow, that I ditched it after a few tries. If there’s any developments, I just might try to use it again.
