Title: Please Help - cannot connect to SR on a new computer.
Post by: donmonochron on June 06, 2012, 02:20 am
Any help is appreciated.  I am unable to connect to SR from multiple networks i try to do it from.  It a brand new computer running windows 7.  I am able to load other sites but not SR.  I tried reaching SK from a friends computer and it worked fine, but not from mine.  I tried to play with the firewall but it did nothing, its either the connecttion times outor says SR server is unreachable.  What can be the problem please.

I assume you are using the default browser that pops open when Tor connects to get to Silk Road and not some version of Firefox you have installed yourself separately?

The correct address for Silk Road is as follows: http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/home

If it's still not working, you haven't installed Tor correctly. Try reinstalling the correct version (Tor & Browser Bundle): https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/tor-browser-2.2.36-1_en-US.exe

Good luck   :D

At the weekend the tor button (small green onion top left on screen) on firefox was disabled as a addon, so I had vadila loaded but could not log onto SR because I had no tor button. I loaded Tor & Browser Bundle and now works fine.
