Title: still can not get on the road
Post by: worldgym123 on April 22, 2013, 11:56 am
I haven't been able to get on the road for 3 days what is going on? Is anyone else still having problems getting on? Everytime I try to go on a screen comes up saying this= Proxy timed out while trying to connect. But other people on the forums say there getting on just fine.

I've been able to get on every day however at some times of the day it is very laggy or doesn't work at all. I can always sign in though.

Have you made sure all the add-ons and extensions on  your clearnet browser are disabled?

Ok, I'm no expert, just a raw newbie. I use fire fox for surfing everything that is not SR related, this is called clearnet and should NOT be used for anything SR related, at all.

Everything SR related should be done through onion and is called 'darknet'. Doon't mix the two, like trying to log into farcebook on onion, or trying to access your bitcoins through fire fox.

In firefoc/chrome/whatever Go to 'Tools' then 'Add Ons' and click disable for everything you have running.

Stuff like Java and Adblock. Then click on Extensions and disable everything there as well, stuff like silverlight, adobe, yahoo, etc etc

It shouldn't be too hard to find. Just look under Tools, or Options, or Add ons in which ever browser you are using for clearnet.


Hope that makes sense?

Forgot to mention Plugins as well, disable all your clearnet Plugins as well as the extensions.  :)
