    hi, HTTP TUNNEL looks like a windows program, i'm using Linux. i think i'm OK now though, i've just configured my IRC client to use Privoxy and TOR.

    i'm using socks4 not socks4a, i thought 4a was what i should use. i'll see what happens with DNS when i make some connections and do abit more reading.

    Hey Ice,

    Just curious - What IRC Client are you using? xChat?

    BTW - You can configure/force any app to use any proxy regardless of their options using proxychains.

    i'm using XChat. do i need proxychains if i have Privoxy and TOR?

    lots of places don't let people use TOR, do you think changing TORs port will make a difference?

    No you'd use proxychains to force an app to use a proxy if it doesn't have an option for doing so.

    They're concern isn't tor itself ... but that trolls tend to use such services to do their misdeeds and when they do, it can result in the banning of IPs. They aren't all banned you'll see that as the routing cycles ... it's hit and miss.
