Re: [tor-talk] TorBirdy seems to connect to the same exit node again and again

Hi Leeroy, Thanks for the reply! I am using the latest Tor Browser bundle (4.0.8), and checked the signature before installing. Updating does not work for me anymore, I have to upgrade to a new machine and newer OSX, will do asap. I think what you describe might be correct - so far choosing a ne

Hello Malte, I already did, before sending an email to the list ;) Basically they only blocked that one exit - for some security reason. I have been using TorBirdy for quite a while, worked with my mail provider until Thursday. So as long as I restart Tor, I can be a "new identity" and send my e

Hi Leeroy > You mentioned trying to perform a similar look-up for exit policies > using Atlas. Yes, I tried "25" or "port 25" in Atlas' search, but did not get any results... it seemed like the most intuitive place to look for port info. Searching in the local database did not occur to me, before

Re: [tor-talk] TorBirdy seems to connect to the same exit node again and again

Hi Leeroy, Yes, Atlas was a poor choice. Before you suggested searching the log through Terminal, I wasn't even thinking of that possibility. As for improvements: I think a) would be quite important. Using a better port worked, as far as I can tell, and I was not aware that I put myself in a very

Hi guys, What you explained is a little over my head. Also my capacities are very limited at the moment. I will look into it, soon! Thanks S l.m: > Hi teor, > > You could run TorBirdy through its own instance of the tor client > software, with a separate socks port. > > This would avoid many

Re: [tor-talk] TorBirdy seems to connect to the same exit node again and again

Hi Yuri, Thanks for all your input/suggestions. It is really helpful to see things from various perspectives! I like the idea of Whonix/Qubes or other VMs, but with my limited skills I wouldn't consider that a safe option. Simply because I can not maintain it. So if I were to be dealing with ext

Re: [tor-talk] TorBirdy seems to connect to the same exit node again and again

Okey, you made me think twice, I will give the VM machine idea a chance. That is, once I have the resources to do so. I spend way too much time in front of a screen nowadays. Cheers S Yuri: > This is just a fascinating topic, and it is interesting how Tor allows > to separate singular digital lif
