1 .. _The-graphical-configuration-interface: 2 3 The graphical configuration interface 4 ------------------------------------- 5 6 .. Inserted from Installation Handbook in original "order". 7 8 .. original FIXME said to move to the user's handbook... 9 WGL thinks somewhere else... 10 11 If you also would like to use ``gnunet-gtk`` and ``gnunet-setup`` 12 (highly recommended for beginners), do: 13 14 .. _Configuring-your-peer: 15 16 Configuring your peer 17 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 18 19 This chapter will describe the various configuration options in GNUnet. 20 21 The easiest way to configure your peer is to use the ``gnunet-setup`` 22 tool. ``gnunet-setup`` is part of the ``gnunet-gtk`` package. You might 23 have to install it separately. 24 25 Many of the specific sections from this chapter actually are linked from 26 within ``gnunet-setup`` to help you while using the setup tool. 27 28 While you can also configure your peer by editing the configuration file 29 by hand, this is not recommended for anyone except for developers as it 30 requires a more in-depth understanding of the configuration files and 31 internal dependencies of GNUnet. 32 33 .. _Configuration-of-the-HOSTLIST-proxy-settings: 34 35 Configuration of the HOSTLIST proxy settings 36 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 37 38 The hostlist client can be configured to use a proxy to connect to the 39 hostlist server. This functionality can be configured in the 40 configuration file directly or using the ``gnunet-setup`` tool. 41 42 The hostlist client supports the following proxy types at the moment: 43 44 - HTTP and HTTP 1.0 only proxy 45 46 - SOCKS 4/4a/5/5 with hostname 47 48 In addition authentication at the proxy with username and password can 49 be configured. 50 51 To configure proxy support for the hostlist client in the 52 ``gnunet-setup`` tool, select the \"hostlist\" tab and select the 53 appropriate proxy type. The hostname or IP address (including port if 54 required) has to be entered in the \"Proxy hostname\" textbox. If 55 required, enter username and password in the \"Proxy username\" and 56 \"Proxy password\" boxes. Be aware that this information will be stored 57 in the configuration in plain text (TODO: Add explanation and generalize 58 the part in Chapter 3.6 about the encrypted home). 59 60 .. _Configuration-of-the-HTTP-and-HTTPS-transport-plugins: 61 62 Configuration of the HTTP and HTTPS transport plugins 63 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 64 65 The client parts of the http and https transport plugins can be 66 configured to use a proxy to connect to the hostlist server. This 67 functionality can be configured in the configuration file directly or 68 using the gnunet-setup tool. 69 70 Both the HTTP and HTTPS clients support the following proxy types at the 71 moment: 72 73 - HTTP 1.1 proxy 74 75 - SOCKS 4/4a/5/5 with hostname 76 77 In addition authentication at the proxy with username and password can 78 be configured. 79 80 To configure proxy support for the clients in the gnunet-setup tool, 81 select the \"transport\" tab and activate the respective plugin. Now you 82 can select the appropriate proxy type. The hostname or IP address 83 (including port if required) has to be entered in the \"Proxy hostname\" 84 textbox. If required, enter username and password in the \"Proxy 85 username\" and \"Proxy password\" boxes. Be aware that these information 86 will be stored in the configuration in plain text.
