Quote from: NotMe123 on December 29, 2012, 01:13 pmi downloaded pidgin and followed the instructions and it still uses my host name in my info, i used the link on the first page of the post and all it did was flash up a dos prompt for half a sec then disappears, nothing else happens.in the settings it also shows my real ip, it asks for a STUN server, what is that?This is based on the Linux v2.10 or so Pidgin, FYI: go to your accounts list. Click the "add" button. Select "irc" out of the list. In the "Basic" tab: set your local alias to your desired username. Set your Username to your desired username. Set the Server to be "silcroadg3c3mtu6.onion".Now go to the advanced tab. Set "Port" to be 6667. Encodings to UTF-8. Uncheck Auto-detect incoming UTF-8. Set username to your desired username. Set Real name to the same desired username. Uncheck "Use SSL."Now on the proxy tab: set Proxy type to "Tor/privacy (SOCKS5)". Set Host to 127.0.0.1. Set port to 9050. Leave Username and Password blank on the proxy tab.Now sign on.P.S. - if this still doesn't work, execute this command at a terminal window (run "xterm" or "gnome-terminal" and paste it or type it in), then restart the Tor browser and try signing in again and it should work fine:Code: [Select]echo "SocksPort 9050" >> /etc/tor/torrc; echo "SocksListenAddress 127.0.0.1" >> /etc/tor/torrcDisclaimer: I don't use pidgin. But it worked the one time I signed in with it set this way, so... should do fine.
