my other problem with janus/tor

Hi

I managed to install vmware with janusVM (which was built for ver4 not 6.5 vmware).. and installed on another tab windows XP
it can connect fine to the janusVM once running (need a fast machine though).

it installs the VPN part and connects fine..

when I load a ip check site it shows a Tor IP but it doesnt seem to work

if go to chat.icq.com...

the web browser version of icq that uses flash.

I read janus etc should work with all chats including icq? and trap dns and sidebar leaks with flash and java and redirect ok

but icq refuses to connect.. it will connect then drops each time

if i disable the openvn to janus.. it connects fine but of course my ISP
is shown in status

perhaps someone can check it with their setup

BTW! the old flash chat wont connect if update flash from 7 to 9 or higher

so I manually paste a copy of the older flash code into firefox or netscape 9 plugins folder gets around this.

since it connects with standard ip you know its working but when VPN it
it fails

so it seems icq are able to detect vpn or tor and kill connection?

Your thoughts

 

Perhaps Coderman can weigh in on this issue and provide some insight.

FWIW, I fired up JanusVM, resurrected my old ICQ account and I connected just fine. I can't replicate the issue you describe.

Sounds as thought JanusVM may not be set up properly.

 

think you missed the point.. icq web browser chatroom using flash not
the icq standard sidebar like msn which doesnt use a webbrowser
not sure if the standard has a chat room pop up though?? cant remember.. not used it for years but I like to hop into the web browser one to chat sometimes
and its a good check what cant be fooled.

how do you check icq is hiding ip though with sidebar/tray version..?
it dont say anywhere what your ip is by memory?

did I provide the link above to test it with? web chat?

Ive tried various setups. vmware, vpn, vadalia etc all do the same here

Im wondering if they somehow do a trace route... as not sure if tor blocks that?

 

http://chat.icq.com/icqchat/chatroom.php?c_id=1197

try that link.. if connects very top of status tab/window (you will have to scroll it) will say connected with username@IPaddress

ipaddress ends up not being tor but your ISP one

let me know how you get on as I dont believe my setup is wrong

make sure it connects without TOR first.. if browser is using latest flash it wont even connect icq havent fixed this issue
copy old ver 7 shockwave to plugins solves it though.

hence why different web browser is handy to test like old netscape 7/9 or vmware of course

 

found the answer.. TOR is blocked by IRCqnet which the web flash chatrooms use (noticed in the status list but didnt click at time.. as heard irc is blocking tor).. how do they know its a tor IP? surely thats a ip/security leak there alone.

wonder if theres other way to defeat these snoops? seems atlernative to tor is needed

i see it connects to irc.icq.com

and if i try to even browser proxy settings to a random open proxy it wont connect either..

its very interesting how they know which are via proxies and block it connecting

so janusap hardware wont work either.. cant chat and do other stuff.. if its encoding the whole web to notebook.. some things work and others not

 

PM me off list. Perhaps I can help.

 

unfortunately no Tor implementation is going to solve the problem of services blocking Tor requests via the Tor DNS exit list service, or other less accurate methods.

as mentioned here, you can try changing service providers or using a different anonymity network / proxy. such workarounds may be temporary however.

best regards,
