Hello Paul (and others), the problem is for example when I login into a remote mailbox through TorBrowser then the mail box provider see my IP (=IP of ExitNode). Since I often stay longer than 10 minutes in my remote mailbox an IP switch happens during my mailbox login session. Unfortunately a

[tor-talk] Extend auto-IP-switching-time in TorBrowser (and depending from time of inactivity)

2016-03-20 Thread Ben Stover
As far as I know TorBrowser switches automatically every 10 minutes the node chain resp. the IP of the ExitNode. Can I somehow extend this timeout time to another value e.g. 30 minutes? Or (even better) can I let Tor auto-switch the IP and chain depending from the time of inactivity (.e.g when

When I start TorBrowser the current "torrc" file is read. Now assume I change the instructions in "torrc". Do I have to exit and restart TorBrowser to get the new "torrc" instructions working? Or is there something like a reload "torrc"? Maybe I can put a "reload 600" instruction into "torrc"

In the past I setup Tor with separate Vidalia and Privoxy tools. When I use now TorBrowser package then there is no need to install them any more. At least it is not visible any more. Are Vidalia and Privoxy completely outdated and deprecated? Ben -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists

Assume I specified in "torrc" file ExitNodes {fr},{de],{ca} According to Tor docs that means that the exit nodes should always (?) be in one of the three countries. On the other hand there is another parameter "StrictExitNodes" which forces Tor to use an ExitNode from one of the three nodes. T
