Changing time while TOR is running causes endless new connections to be added
Windows XP SP2 Vidalia 0.2.6 Tor 0.2.1.22 Qt 4.5.2 Running TOR as client No changes in Tor's torrc Running TOR in English
- Launch TOR
- Wait for TOR to establish connections (icon turns green)
- Open Date and Time Properties (bottom-right of Windows desktop)
- Reduce/increase time by a few hours
- Connections start to increase endlessly
- Adjust Time back to original time
- Extra connections immediately close and disappear, TOR returns to normal number of connections
Reason to do this is that, as I understand it, when javascript is enabled the webpage can detect your time zone, so I try to scramble that before I visit a website in which I want javascript to work.
I will check back on this webpage every few days, in case there are any questions.
