tor - Not able to create single hop circuit (one hop tunnel)

Question

I follow the toctrl explain (http://www.thesprawl.org/research/tor-control-protocol/) on how to create really fast one hop circuits , i success to create circuit of one , but i didnt success to use firefox with tor after doing this.

i also try to use in "tor auto circuit project" , but i got error from tor that he didnt able to connect to node (each time different node), so he give up.

i also try to download the tortunnel project , but i didnt success to compile it.

Does any one has experience with this?

Thank you

Tor relays reject single hop circuits unless specifically allowed via the AllowSingleHopExits option in their torrc. Tor is an anonymity network, not a pool of single hop proxies. If you don't care about your anonymity then you should direct your traffic through a shell server somewhere.
