Comment(by Al):
Follow-up:
Tor now works as before (since 3 days)!
I can't be sure what causes it to work as before, as there are a lot of
different possibilities in what I have no insight. Have there been server
changes? Has my ISP or some secret service made something different?
Etcetera?
But what I do now, is that the change coincided with removing Kaspersky
PURE. The program made unasked for connections (not-permitted Cloud file
analyses) to their servers in China to Washington, Britain to Russia,
etcetera. Trying to block it with PeerBlock, was impossible, it just
started to make 10 different connections a second, until it found one of
their IP's that was not blocked. Sandboxing the avp.exe with Comodo,
worked, but then Kaspersky started sabotaging the internet connections of
my other programs.
After removing Kaspersky (again: could be accidental and coinciding with
some other change), I can connect again with Tor to my email accounts, to
the torproject.org page itself, to news.google, etcetera.
Before, I had another positive change after removing the Tor browser+IM
download and changing it for the Tor download without IM: Then I didn't
have anymore the obliged USA servers BADASSx, Blackbockx, FordmodelA/x
that I always got and could not click away even when clicking away 2 a
second. Thereafter this part of the problem was resolved, but the other
part (emails and some other connections blocked) continued until I removed
Kaspersky.
OK; now I like to have some feedback here: Has there been major changes to
the Tor servers (in USA/Mexico) that accidentally coincided with one of
the two positive events I mention?
If not; can you investigate if its possible that a security issue in
Tor+IM could have been used to give me always those obliged USA servers?
Same for Kaspersky; could that have blocked some specific Tor made
connections, while I at the same time could reach those IP's without using
Tor?
For your information: we have an official government document that we are
listed (although on intelligence falsifications for higher power politics
and to protect their crimes of corruption), so it would be strange to
think that we would not monitored; that is just what they have to do.
