Title: tor is working, but .onion adresses dont
Post by: zebra420kitty on August 16, 2012, 08:10 am
For what ever reason tor will only let me connect if i use .onion.to instead of just .onion. This limits me from clicking any link that isnt supported. How do i make my tor work again! it worked fine on my old computer. Now im on a new windows 7. Maybe something to do with ports? Thanks for the help in advance

I don't think its a cause to worry, check whatismyip.com to see if a proxy is detected.

wouldnt know why this should have anything to do with Win7. I guess you guys downloaded the latest Tor Bundle? There was an update a week ago or so, ever since then I am also getting everything as offline on darknet. Its temporary though and works again after restarting TOR and reloading the sites.

Oh dearie me. It would be a good idea to only access silkroad through .onion... Security reasons. :)

If you can't access an .onion site, use the check.tor website. If it is working, try again. The website may be down, or you have a configuration error.

set your computer's system clock i.e. the one in the corner of your screen to the actual time and it will work like magic
