You point your main active network interface gateway to a tor gateway or proxy.
Am I doing that editing the privoxy config file with this line?
‘forward-socks5t / 127.0.0.1:9050 .’
I now set up tor for firefox manually using https://www.wikihow.com/Use-Tor-with-Firefox. If the edited privoxy cofig file is the right way to go, didn’t I just double torify?
thanks for posting such a detailed answer.
about the different debian versions: I don’t know which one I should try first:
I found debian mac 12.5 netinst https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/bt-cd/ and I’m giving it a try.
Shouldn’t that work, I’ll try one of the live cds https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/bt-hybrid/
I paste the links to check if I have the right version
Incidentally, the data size difference is so surprising: 0.66 GB (debian mac netinst) against 3.17 GB (debian live). Can I have something in between?
model is a MacBook Pro, Intel Core i5-4278U @ 2.60GHz, model A1502 (EMC 2875), Retina Mid-2014 13" with an embedded SSD
Incidentally, I got the notebook as a present, got rid of mac OS and installed xubuntu 23.10 on it. Some mac OS users mean this company deliberately slows down old computers so users feel compelled to buy something newer. Can it be that’s why this notebook is so slow? I didn’t do anything fancy to install xubuntu, just used the whole space to install from a usb stick so I wonder if some residual software is still present.

yes. This MacBook Pro, Intel Core i5-4278U @ 2.60GHz, model A1502 (EMC 2875), Retina Mid-2014 13" has an embedded apple SSD.
I’m not going to spend any money upgrading any part of this notebook: not much bang for my buck and the model is most probably not supported anymore.
If the Mac has a Retina display
yes, model is a MacBook Pro, Intel Core i5-4278U @ 2.60GHz, model A1502 (EMC 2875), Retina Mid-2014 13"
