Hi, I'm new to this and apologize in advance, in case I ask questions that have been asked too often. I have checked the Internet up and down and didn't find the right answers - maybe just because I wasn't able to formulate the question properly. My system: OpenSuse 10.2 with current updates, Tor 0.1.2.16, and yesterday added Tork 0.18 (not CVS, that didn't compile properly), as I prefer the graphical interfaces... 1. I started using TOR a few days ago, and yesterday managed to set up the server. After a while (I'm not sure how many hours) my Internet connection was completely gone, so that I had to restart the PC. I'm not sure if that has to do with using TOR as a server, but if others have had such an experience, I would like to know what could cause it, so I can fix it - if it's related. Currently, the server is turned off. 2. I receive messages from the server in the log: a. You may be leaking DNS requests. I found out that kmail and nscd were doing that. nscd is caching DNS requests - should I disable that? It's said to improve performance quite well. Or is there a way to integrate it in TOR? Or can I just ignore the message? b. Your traffic can be eavesdropped. Now, that is what I want to avoid. But I didn't find a hint how TOR found it out, or which program makes it possible, or which settings I have to change. I followed the book when setting it all up and was happy that it was working. Can you please direct me to the right resources, where I can find answers, or answer me here? I try to be more specific if necessary. However, I am not so much familiar with the technical details, some terms are completely new to me and I have to learn.
