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.
