Tor Not Working Anymore
Hello, I understand that I can get help here on running Tor/Vidalia, correct? If so then I would like assistance since Tor/Vidalia stopped working for me since a week.
My connection passes through a proxy that at least supports HTTP (since it allows my web browsers to work), but in Tor Settings I used to put HTTP/HTTPS mode. It also requires user/password authentication which I also supplied.
This set was working for me for a year or so, but last week it just stopped working. I tried different sets with the same proxy and a SOCKS4 proxy I have, but nothing worked. I tried bridges, but it seems to not make a difference.
I got basic understanding in programming & networking, but I do not rule the possibility that I've done something wrong. Here's two samples of a failing multi-hour log with the settings that "used" to work:
** NOTE#1: I don't know what is this SOCKS5 problem showing below, but it used to show up even at the times when Tor succeeded in connecting ** ** NOTE#2: The 1st sample shows only the first 30 minutes of my attempt, the 2nd sample shows all the log BUT with excluding the repetition of the SOCKS5 issue ** ** NOTE#3: The original log is attached **
