I have tried multiple times to set a proxy for the Pluggable Transports Tor Browser Bundle but never succeeded. I attempted to set the proxy in Vidalia as HTTP/HTTPS proxy. I have also tried SOCKS5 AND SOCKS4 and none of these is working. Vidalia said:

Vidalia was unable to apply your NETWORK setting to tor
Unacceptable option value : You have configured more than one proxy type . (Socks4proxy|HTTPSProxy|ClientTransportPlugin)"

How to solve this error?

  • You can't set the proxy in PTBB, just try TBB without pluggable

If tor is configured to use a pluggable transport, you can't set Socks*Proxy or HTTP*Proxy.

The reason is that tor does not make connections to relays or directory servers itself anymore, but instead delegates that job to the pluggable transport, a dedicated process running outside of tor.

If you want to proxify your connection to the Tor network, you need to proxify those transports. I don't think the pluggable-TBB has any GUI for this. I'm also not aware of any transports that natively support being proxied, though external proxifiers might work. This is probably not entirely trivial.
