pH5,
Thank you. That worked for me. For anyone else attempting to try the same thing here is what I did:
1: Installed rootsh (from extras
http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/rootsh/
)
2: In the Command Line, typed "sudo gainroot"
3: Navigated to /etc/tor/torrc
4: Copied torrc to my home directory
5: Edited torrc in my home directory with Leafpad (text editor)
6: Added theses 2 lines to end of the file:
ExitNodes server1, server2, server3
StrictExitNodes 1
7: Replaced server1, server2 and server 3 with UK exit nodes (found from
http://proxy.org/tor.shtml
)
8: Saved torrc
9: Copied torrc back to /etc/tor/torrc
Everything worked!
It would be nice if there was a way to edit the config file from the Tor Applet, but hopefully the exit nodes do not change too frequently.
Thanks again for your help.
