Title: SR Site Trouble?
Post by: djmeistro on April 01, 2012, 05:45 pm
Hey I am using Liberte on a USB thumb drive. I use midori to get to SR in the past but just recently its been timing out alot and i get this message "Privoxy was unable to socks5-forward your request http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/home through 127.0.0.1: SOCKS5 TTL expired" Anyone have any ideas?

hey try getting a new tor identity by going under the "start menu" internet > switch tor identity, also not sure if its a coincidence but whenever i dont shut down liberte properly i get similar issues.

or it could just be a rough patch on tor.

I too have this problem connecting to sr with midori on liberte, but I am able to use it through using tor and firefox on non liberte computer, I have also tried to use new identities and still no luck, looking for tech support

well that was quick, after still attempting at new identities and rebooting, shutting down and turning back on, and disconnecting internet, sr shows, dont know the solution must just be spotty, still looking for any insight though

This is not a SR issue, but an issue with midori; Privoxy is not secure and should not be used at all, same with Polipo. There is no need for an additional proxy, to be honest.
