Title: Torchat with Tor Browser Bundle
Post by: anonymouse23 on March 31, 2013, 08:29 pm

Is there an easy way to configure Torchat to work with the Tor Browser Bundle?

In what sense? TorChat includes Tor, so there's nothing to configure.

You actually don't want TorChat to use TBB's Tor and entry guards, since TorChat turns you into a hidden service. You don't want to mix circuits between your TorChat hidden service and your TBB activities. There's a reason why all hidden services running on the same host get their own entry guards.

I simply wanted it running on one instance of Tor, but if thats not considered safe i guess we can close that topic.
