Wikipedia:Advice to users using Tor

Tor is often blocked from editing due to its use by vandals. This presents a problem for Wikipedia users in China, who currently can't edit Wikipedia by normal methods. Luckily there is another way, until such time as the Chinese authorities read this page and close the loophole. The solution is to edit your main Privoxy configuration file as follows:

# Default Tor forward
forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 .

# Unencrypted Wikipedia forwarding
forward *.wikipedia.org 145.97.39.155:80
forward *.wikimedia.org 145.97.39.155:80
forward *.wiktionary.org 145.97.39.155:80
forward *.wikiquote.org 145.97.39.155:80
forward *.wikinews.org 145.97.39.155:80
forward *.wikibooks.org 145.97.39.155:80

This will give you unencrypted communications to the Wikipedia servers, and will allow the Wikipedia servers to determine your real IP address, for the purpose of blocking vandals. It should be faster than using Tor.
