[Fwd: Re: Tor and https]



sorry, privoxy probably has nothing to do with it, actually, as it can't
see any of the source with https sites, afaik, because it sits between
the browser and the destination.

but i meant what i said about the ip-changing issue (i had a problem
with plesk, before, too)

hi,

you probably can access port 8443 fine as there are at least a few
servers allowing exit traffic from there.  my guess is that privoxy may
be causing a problem with javascript in addition to the fact that your
ip keeps changing when using tor (so plesk will keep logging you out
every time your ip changes). -- you can get privoxy to trust your plesk
site's ip/hostname, but you will still have plesk problems when using
tor because of your apparent ip changing.

(i also found bugs when using firefox "deer park" with plesk, so if you
are using that [for the no-dns leakage abilities] then that will be an
issue when trying to do some things in plesk.)
