Title: Noob
Post by: mallshall on September 14, 2013, 12:30 pm
Hello everyone

I'm Mallshall from the UK and hope to become a vendor on the SR one day soon.

I'm running Tor browser off a fresh copy of winxp - In future I would run Ubuntu off flash drive along with Tor.

But until then, I have subscribed to IPVanish - the problem I have is:

I can't start IPVanish and then Tor as Tor hangs 80% bootstrap and nothing more happens.

If I run Tor first, then all is well, but when I then run IPVanish - Tor browser times out and grinds to a stop.

I use the OpenVPN (TCP) connection on IPVanish.

Any ideas?
