Re: [tor-talk] doing a google search creates a 403 forbidden when I'm on the tor network

[Ansley Dunbar <ansleydunbar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't entirely understand-- the problem was that Google was preventing
you from accessing any link to the program by denying the search request
altogether, right? And the fix was... finding it off Tor?

After your first email I tried a few different search variables to
duplicate the 403 error, but they were all successful.
