GPG key for Tor

[b0uncyfr0]

I u just saw tor and it sounds pretty interesting being able to surf anonymously. Im having trouble getting the pubkey using the guide from ubuntugeeks. i type in konsole "sudo gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net -- recv 94C09C7F" but i dont get anything. Can someone help?

There is a problem with the formatting on the page there is an extra space in this line.

gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv 94C09C7F

See the link below. The command also timed out on me a few times but just keep trying and you'll get it.

The howto isn't complete either you need to install privoxy.

sudo apt-get install privoxy

Then follow the instructions on this page and install Torbutton addon to firefox.

Yep its running properly. Does this mean i dont get blocked from megaupload when i download too much.

No, it doesn't mean that. Tor usually uses one connection for a while, so you IP address won't change and you'll still be limited.

Oh ok. I got happy for a second but it seems to work when i switch between FoxyProxy and Torbutton. So i get double download instead of the regular 3 cause they both seem to use different IP addresses. Its a lot better than before.
