Tor is dependent on libevent and OpenSSL. Polipo is required for the following setup..

After installation, and having configured the Web browser to use Polipo, the web browser is only able to make use of Tor when both Tor and Polipo are also running as well:
Menu > Internet > Polipo
Menu > Internet > Tor
Menu > Internet > SeaMonkey [Opera, Firefox]

Configuring a Tor relay

The Tor network relies on volunteers to donate bandwidth. The more people who run relays, the faster the Tor network will be. If you have at least 20 kilobytes/s each way, please help out Tor by configuring your Tor to be a relay too.
