 hello..


 i was reading about Creating Custom Circuits..
 and i found these orders ..but i didnt know how to use them and where to
 write them..???


 Using Tor control protocol you can create custom circuits of different
 sizes. Regardless of circuit size the last node must be configured as
 exit-node. In order to successfully create and use custom circuits we must
 first disable Tor's automatic circuit creation mechanism. While it can not
 be completely disabled (?), we can still use the following configuration
 options to force Tor clients to use our custom made circuits:


 setconf __DisablePredictedCircuits=1 <- disable preemptively creating
 circuits
 setconf MaxOnionsPending=0 <- maximum circuits pending
 setconf newcircuitperiod=999999999 <- longer period before creating new
 circuit
 setconf maxcircuitdirtiness=999999999 <- longer period for circuit
 expiration


 You can delete already created circuits so they don't interfere:


 closecircuit 2
 250 OK
 closecircuit 1
 250 OK
 getinfo circuit-status
 250-circuit-status=
 250 OK


 can somebody help me and give a example to how an where set these
 orders???
