Hey @nickm_tor (and everyone else), @maymaym wrote a very detailed piece on setting up Tor on OS X. maymay.net/blog/2013/02/2…

@maradydd @maymaym Cool! I hope to check it out soon! Generally I'm a little nervous about "redirect all traffic through Tor"...

@maradydd @maymaym ...but if the right warnings are there (i.e., about protocol-related leaks), it's not so bad.

@maradydd @maymaym I hope it has some good ideas about circuit isolation too. That's tricky to get right when doing many apps at once

@nickm_tor No, its audience is ppl w/o prior knowledge. But I'd like to improve it, if I can. Have recommended reading for me? /cc @maradydd

@maymaym @maradydd Check out the manual options for Isolate* on the SocksPort option. Proposal 171 has more background too, but is outdated

@nickm_tor So, if I grok, it'd be better to add more `SOCKSPort … IsolateDestPort`options in `torrc` & point OSX/browser/etc. to diff ports?

@maymaym I think multiple SOCKSPorts is key; IsolateDestPort is mostly pointless for many apps. (e.g., HTTP, HTTPS).

@nickm_tor Ah, okay. Then adding a step (or a sidebar) to my howto for multiple `SOCKSPort`s in torrc seems like the thing to do. Thank you!

@nickm_tor I notice trying to write multiple `SocksPort` lines in TBB's Vidalia.app only actually writes the last one to torrc. Seems a bug?

@maymaym Sounds like it could be one! I don't suppose you want to hack a little C++, do you? Vidalia is undermaintained ATM :(

@nickm_tor My off-the-cuff guess is that gitweb.torproject.org/vidalia.git/bl… is the bug. The &key is const, but…why?

@maymaym I'm not sure exactly; it's normal for the key& to be const if the function isn't supposed to actually change the key in its caller…

@maymaym Failing that, there are some efforts to replace Vidalia, but I haven't tried any of them yet; they could be fun to play around with

@nickm_tor Yeah, I think I'll file a bug. I don't actually know C++, so I'm not sure I'm the best person for this job. But I'll have a look.

@maradydd Thanks! :) I recently fielded a lot of questions from interested muggles, so I hope I'm serving a need w/that post. /cc @nickm_tor
