Sorry. You are not using Tor. (1.5.7)

Post by marvinandro »

I need a hand troubleshooting the Tor features. I'm running 1.5.7.
I only set "Enabled, Toggled By Each Host" and left the other fields at their defaults - tor relay, block non-tor protocols, etc.
When I go to one of my PCs and enable tor (I see "For your IP, Tor is: Enabled") and then hit https://check.torproject.org/, the response is always negative -> "Sorry. You are not using Tor."
Using the native Win7 tor bundle, everything works fine.
Questions:
1) How do I debug why gargoyle is not doing Tor properly for any of my devices?
2) How do I request new identity?
3) How do I make a "headless" device get Tor traffic, ie my WD media box?
Probably those are answered in FAQs, Doc pages and Wikis but for some reason I can't find any of the answers.
Thanks, Marv

I just checked 1.5.7+ and it works perfect for me (disabling tor wasn't quite perfect)

I didn't really answer your question but I just checked my system for correct functionality.
2) How do I request new identity?

Don't know but I suspect you will need to manually edit the tor config file through SSH

I guess this is a new feature request. Something like
point my windoze pc to 192.168.1.1 and on the Management
Utility have more options that just "Enable Tor for your IP" but also "Enable Tor for..." and a drop-down of the other hostnames/IPs on my network. This way I can force my WD media box to go behind Tor and stream other country's Netflix, for example, from any of my other computers. It's be great if I could also select new identity for other machines on my network (yes, something easily done on the Tor's Windows GUI).
