If you are using a Privoxy version more recent than 3.0.9 (released in 2008), you can use SOCKS5 which will allow Tor to provide Privoxy with a more detailed problem description. > Sorry Jim, thats what it says, if these are NOT refusing DNS resolution, > then they ARE actively blocking access to named urls which are > noncriminal in nature (like this one), if so, then thats even worse and > for so many - implies ALL these exit nodes have a linked (organized) > hidden agenda. > > Try this... enter into your torrified/privoxyified browser the url > "cobblers.za" and go get it. > > You'll see the following privoxy message page entitled "404 - No such > Domain" > > 404 > > > This is Privoxy <http://www.privoxy.org/> 3.0.6 on YourMachineName > (127.0.0.1), port 8118, enabled Your Privoxy version is from 2006, you might want to consider updating it. With a more recent version I get: | fk@r500 ~ $lynx --dump http://www.cobblers.za/ | 503 | | This is [1]Privoxy 3.0.17 on Privoxy-Jail.local (10.0.0.1), port 8118, | enabled | | Warning: | | This Privoxy version is based on UNRELEASED code and not intended for | production systems! | Use at your own risk.
