HOWTO : LimeChat with Tor on Mac OS X 10.8.4

UPDATE on Jan 4, 2015 : Change the Tor addresses





Step 1 :



Download and install the LimeChat from Apple Apps Store on you Mac.



Step 2 :



LimeChat >> Preferences >> Interface >> Layout of the main window >> 3 Columns

LimeChat >> Server >> Server Properties >> General >> Network name -- TorifiedFreenode

LimeChat >> Server >> Server Properties >> General >> Server -- 10.40.40.40

LimeChat >> Server >> Server Properties >> General >> Port -- 6667

LimeChat >> Server >> Server Properties >> General >> Nickserv Pasword -- [your SASL password]

LimeChat >> Server >> Server Properties >> General >> Use SASL >> selected



LimeChat >> Server >> Server Properties >> Details >> Proxy >> SOCKS 5 proxy

LimeChat >> Server >> Server Properties >> Details >> Homename >> 127.0.0.1

LimeChat >> Server >> Server Properties >> Details >> Port >> 9150



LimeChat >> Server >> Server Properties >> On Login >> #infosec-ninjas [add some channels]



Step 3 :



Go to Tor official website to download and install "Tor Browser Bundle for 64-Bit Mac".



Step 4 :



Run "TorBrowser_en-US".



Vidalia Control Panel >> Settings >> Advanced >> Edit current torrc



Append the following :



MapAddress 10.40.40.40 p4fsi4ockecnea7l.onion



Since Tor servers for TOR has been updated. The previous .onion address is no longer working. Please use one of the following addresses :



frxleqtzgvwkv7oz.onion

p567hbjdstqvg7xw.onion

2hktdmgt6bg2hjuc.onion

l4wvhvf666nifnpg.onion



Select it and then "Apply selection only" >> OK



Sometimes, the address will be too busy for login, so, you need to toggle between the addresses to see if it can login or not.



Or, you can append all the above addresses and do not select "Apply selection only". (However, it is not tested.)



Step 5 :



Close LimeChat and Stop Tor as well as close Vidalia Control Panel.



Then restart Vidalia Control Panel and LimeChat. TorBrowser will start up too.



That's all! See you.
