What is the proper way to configure arm command in tor-arm package to work on 14.04? Because every time I run arm it returns:

Connection refused. Is the ControlPort enabled?

I didn't happen to come across on some good solution while googling, I found this tutorial but still no luck, I guess I'm missing a point somewhere.

have you enabled all the necessary ports? – Ron May 27 '15 at 7:22
    
I dunno what is exactly the port that it requires I use tor with Firefox on port 9050 when I run it: arm -i 127.0.0.1:9050 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/TorCtl/TorCtl.py", line 710, in _loop isEvent, reply = self._read_reply() File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/TorCtl/TorCtl.py", line 885, in _read_reply raise ProtocolError("Badly formatted reply line: unknown type %r"%tp) ProtocolError: Badly formatted reply line: unknown type 'P' Terminated – JoKeR May 27 '15 at 10:13
    
when I run arm -i 127.0.0.1:9051 it says connection refused as stated in OP – JoKeR May 27 '15 at 10:14

First you have to configure TOR For this : We can find the configuration file at /etc/tor/torrc. It’s owned by root, so we’ll have to sudo to edit it:

$ sudo nano /etc/tor/torrc

We’ll uncomment the options we need, and set them to the appropriate values, ending up with something like this:

ORPort 9001
DirPort 9030
ExitPolicy reject *:*
Nickname trustytohr
RelayBandwidthRate 1 MB
RelayBandwidthBurst 2 MB
AccountingStart month 1 00:00
AccountingMax 100 GB
DisableDebuggerAttachment 0**

The most important settings are probably ORPort, DirPort and ExitPolicy

after this restart TOR and run arm
