Sulution to DNS error problem when using TOR Hidden Services

Post by Wild Rat »

If you have router running Gargoyle with TOR enabled (either "enabled to all" or "hidden services only") and your OS is Windows - with time you may run into DNS problem. This is because that the Windows DNS service caches ".onon" addresses. To solve this problem you need to disable DNS service. To do so open ControllPanel>Administration>Services and find "DNS service" open settings and change Run to "Disable".
