Through MesNews with OmniMix in Tandem with Tor
Purpose of this document: This document will attempt to explain how to set up
the news agent MesNews to be used with OmniMix in tandem with Tor. It is
assumed that you have already downloaded these programs as instructed in
this section:
MesNews with OmniMix - Preparations:
Installations:
(Note: There is a short note containing instructions for the Gravity news client.)
MesNews News Agent Modification:
There is one modification to the MesNews parameters that needs to be made.
Step 1. Click on the menu item: 'Server' and 'New Server' menu item. Set the
'Login' fields therein to:
omnimix;ht=news.mixmin.net;pt=119;tl=e;to=5
With the exception of the above 'Login' string, set all other MesNews
parameters according to the instructions found in the 'MesNews with
OmniMix' / 'MesNews News Agent Setup:' section.
(See Step 9: in Gravity with OmniMix for making this change to Gravity.)
OmniMix Modifications:
Note: OmniMix can be installed multiple times. It may be easier to install and use
a separate installation of OmniMix to use with Tor. This will keep you from
having to make any modifications to OmniMix to switch in and out of Tor.
Set up OmniMix to use with Tor by going through the examples below and
setting the parameters identical to those in the graphics.
Step 1. Click on each line in the list box to highlight them, click on the '=' button,
and set the Tor parameter as shown below.
Step 2.
Step 3.
Step 4. It is important that the 'Authent.' dropdown box be set to 'Cookies'.
After making the above modifications, close OmniMix and then restart it. Upon
starting, you will see the Tor window appear and begin to set up a circuit. Once
you see the message ending with '...circuit built!', you should be ready to open
your news client and begin downloading news messages through OmniMix
through a Tor circuit. All Tor messages in OmniMix will be displayed under the
'Tor' tab on the right side of the OmniMix interface. Using OmniMix with Tor
should be quite secure, however, it will be slower in operation.
