The only software I have that does this puts your IP in all kinds of countries, and rarely is it the US or Australia.Quote:

If you use Tor, you can see a list of their exit nodes and the countries they are in. Select the country of your choice and that's where it will look like you are.

Went to a site that had me on 24 hour lockdown (prudes) and guess what- still on lockdown.
Flushed caches, deleted preferences, rebooted and logged onto the net via proxy and then got onto tor, same shit. "We are sorry, you have exceeded out daily bandwidth limits. Please sign up for premium membership today!" faggots. You might beat a lot of sites but some out there have magic voodoo I swear.

For the record, you are probably the first person in history to get malware from trying to download TOR.
Yeah I don't doubt it. I reformatted and don't have but one or two third party programs now and just stay clean and my baby runs smooth so I can't complain. I still think it's something on our network but I can't troubleshoot-mostly because I have no clue how. .Quote:

408Mike you mentioned zero anti-virus... when there's free stuff out there why not install something? or do you have it?
Nevermind, I copied it to my C drive and it works just fine... not the most tech savvy person here, but having fun with Tor already
i guess the reason they want it on the flashdrive is because it leaves no trace
Why do you say my answer to Rick is wrong? Seems to me you are using Tor to download shit from sites that limit how much a free user can get in a day or something, right? The reason you would be over the bandwidth amount while using tor is because every idiot in the world has already figured this out how to do what you are trying to do, and has already used up all the free time from the tor ip addresses for the day. I'm just guessing since you didn't bother to describe you situation very well. Rick is trying to do one thing for one reason, you are trying to do something else for another reason, so the same solutions won't work for both problems.Quote:

cheers cd, gave your method a try last week with no success. will definitely try again in due course and report back.
No-I hit my limit in a normal browser and attempted full tor-proxy stealth to get around the limit but the site could still tell who I was.Quote:

I installed Tor to the USB Flashdrive like the video said......
I have a couple of Yahoo email accounts...... one i leave open at all times in a Firefox window.
I opened a 2nd (different) Yahoo email account in the Tor Browser and sent a couple messages.... when i woke this morning I looked at my normal Yahoo account (the 1st one) -- the one that is always open in the Firefox window -- and it had been shut off and switched to the one that I was using in the Tor account.
There goes my anonymity.... if someone wanted to they could trace that email account to my IP address.
A. why did this happen?
B. i saved the yahoo email page in my Bookmarks in the Tor Browser, but since i thought it was a different browser it wouldn't carry over --- but at the top left I noticed it said "Firefox" which I found strange...... Why does it say "Firefox" if it's a Tor Browser?
How would I change that to Safari or Google Chrome Browser?
X, the tor browser is a firefox browser, with certain settings changed and plugins turned off. If you want to use a different browser, you'll have to configure shit yourself, which is not that hard, but also not that necessary since the vidalia bundle does everything for you.
Second, when you are trying to use Tor to be anonymous, don't also run a regular browser at the same time (esp. when you are logging in to sites that you are concurrently trying to log into anonymously). You can either try to be anonymous, or you can show your identity, but you cannot effectively do both at the same time from the same computer.
Idk, I suspect now that the site uses a cookie or something that id's my computer. I thought the only thing identifying me to a site like that was the IP address it can see but I'm thinking now it's more than that. MAC address or javascript or something. Even with javascript (hell all scripts) off and an IP from sweden it could still see who I was which leads me to believe that all this anonymous proxy nonsense is like second level (with being a regular person not hiding anything or caring first level) while mofo's are third and fourth level. It might all be a waste of time.Quote:

i'm going to investigate all the features of the Vidalia Bundle today.
I always keep around 5 Firefox windows open with about 25 web pages open total.... closing them is not an option..... i don't know how to temporarily close them so that i can re-open them..... is their an ad-on that lets me close my windows and re-open them or an 'Options' feature that will let me do it without losing the webpages while i use TOR?
Re-booting my computer takes 4-5 minutes so i'd rather not go that route.

Why not just explain what the fuck you are trying to accomplish? It would make this easier for everyone.Quote:

Also, Tor ain't a magic bullet. If you aren't willing to even shut down other browsers, shit ain't gonna work right for you.
nevermind, today's a bad day, swallowed half the medicine cabinet last night trying to get sleep.... brain is swollen
anyone,
how does one shut down down 5 Firefox windows --each with 5 to 6 open webpages without doing a re-boot? I don't want to "X" them out and then go thru the long process of bringing all 30 of them back up.
I obviously have it set up so that they re-open on the re-boot.
