=Using Vidalia to view network information and change circuits=
Vidalia is convenient for troubleshooting Tor and changing circuits should your current exit node be banned by a particular site.
Vidalia needs a Tor control port to be available:
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
{
  ...
  services.tor.controlPort = 9051;
  ...
}
</syntaxhighlight>
{{Note|Avoid using Vidalia to change Tor configuration on the fly; instead, use NixOS configuration to control the Tor instance. On NixOS, The only useful features of Vidalia are "new identity" and "network map".<br/><br/>
If you do change something else by accident, you will have to manually edit Vidalia's configuration file ~/.vidalia/vidalia.conf and replace all instances of <tt>Changed &#x3D; true</tt> with <tt>Changed &#x3D; false</tt>, otherwise Vidalia and NixOS will fight for control of the Tor service process.}}
