Freedom

In my previous blog I have mentioned about your-freedom.It is a pretty good software used for tunneling, and its GUI does help a lot.Generally the GCJ package available in most of the Linux distros( Fedora and Debian in particular ) do not support the your-freedom applet as well as the Sun's JDK package.Download the latest JDK edition from the Sun's home page.follow the instructions given on that page.

Follow the given instructions in order to make your-freedom work on ur PC

• I assume that you have installed it in /usr/local/java/
  
• type /usr/local/java/jdk1.5/bin/java -jar your-freedom-folder/freedom.jar

You can set an alias for the full command .Aliases are shortcuts, you can assign any command to perform a given task, more on aliases later.Open ~/.bashrc file and add the following line

alias x='/usr/local/java/jdk1.5/bin/java -jar your-freedom-folder/freedom.jar'

The above command adds x in your commands list.Next time you open your terminal u just need to type "x".You need not ype x , you can put any other character as well , but make sure that its not a system command.

Open gaim and in preferences change the proxy settings to SOCKS 5 and the server address as 127.0.0.1 and port 1080.In the yahoo pager address port you have to add 119 , and select proxy settings as SOCKS5

Thats it over your gaim is up and running.
