[tor-talk] How do I change tor's socks5 port from 9050 to 9051?

[Arsen Zahray]

Hey! Thanks for the reply.

My current torc looks like this:

                 # This file was generated by Tor; if you edit it, comments
will not be preserved
                 # The old torrc file was renamed to torrc.orig.1 or
similar, and Tor will ignore it

                 ControlPort 9051
                 DirReqStatistics 0
                 HashedControlPassword 16:----
                 Log notice stdout
                 SocksListenAddress 127.0.0.1

What should I change for tor to listen to localhost:9051?

Yes.

I don't think Vidalia can do it. You'll have to edit your torrc file
yourself.

That said, 9051 is typically the control port, so you'll probably be
screwing things up and inviting confusing error messages by setting your
socksport to 9051.
