Using Tor behind a proxy?

Question

i'd like to use TOR/polipo behind a proxy like below

ME --> POLIPO --> TOR --> PROXY SQUID --> WEB

Couldn't find how to do that. When specifying a parent proxy for polipo, it goes straight for it without using TOR so my IP Adress doesn't change.

Please any idea is welcome.

Answer 1

For squid: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TheOnionRouter/SquidProxy

For generic HTTP proxies

i believe is what you're looking for.

I use tor over a vpn, but i've never used it with an http proxy

Answer 2

It can be done.

I use browser -> squid -> polipo -> tor -> web

The only thing is that squid doesn't transparently proxy HTTPS.

To do this, set polipo as the parent cache in squid using the cache_peer.

cache_peer parent. polipo_ip polipo_port icp_port proxy-only default
