Title: TOR and Dooble
Post by: Martin Iturbide on June 06, 2023, 01:49:40 am
Hi

Paul ported a new version of TOR:
https://smedley.id.au/tmp/tor-0.4.7.13-os2-20230606.zip

Can someone let me know if I'm configuring Dooble right?
It seems that some sites no longer see my real IP, but some https sites does not work.

Regards

 Hi Martin,

Yes, the whole reason to use Tor is to conceal your IP. Your configuration is correct. Some websites will detect that you conceal your IP, and then not allow access. This lets you know what their business is - in the case of Google, their business is creating dossiers on their users. Can't do that if the IP is concealed. So use another search engine - maybe DuckDuckGo.com, or lite.qwant.com.

Regards,
