A little fresh easy tutorial for anyone wants to use TOR at home

Hello.

my TOR configuration is broken and I've reconfigured again. It seems that it works,but this does not mean that the parameters that I've used are correct. So,if someone wants to help to remove the bad ones,everyone wants to use TOR at home will be happy to have a fresh tutorial :

Code:
gedit /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc

SOCKSPort 9050 # Default: Bind to localhost:9050 for local connections.
SOCKSPort 192.168.1.2:9100 # Bind to this address too.
Log notice syslog
#ORPort 9001
#ORPort 443 NoListen
#ORPort 127.0.0.1:9090 NoAdvertise
ContactInfo Random Person <nobody AT example dot com>
Nickname ididnteditheconfig
ExitNodes {ch} StrictNodes 0
# service tor start

Starting tor.

 This allows everybody on your local network to use your machine as a proxy. Make sure this is what
you wanted.

# ps ax | grep tor

25382  -  S        0:00.35 /usr/local/bin/tor -f /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc --PidFile /var/run/tor/to

       /etc/rc.conf

tor_enable="YES"

/etc/sysctl.conf

net.inet.ip.random_id=1


On Firefox :

Code:
SOCKS Host : 127.0.0.1:9050
Proxy DNS when using SOCKS5 = yes

The problem is that usually I get the following error : "The request could not be satisfied" ; so I would like to understand if there is a method to grab only good IP numbers,excluding the blocked ones. Because to get a lot of wrong IP numbers it means that I should kill TOR and remove the proxy from Firefox everytime. And this is very annoying.

So, maybe, you might be interested.
