Thanks for checking. BTW, d/l page says this is latest ver: /Version
2.3.25-13 - Linux, BSD, and Unix/ . Don't wind up like some silk road
users - who had an old TBB version. :)
It could be a Windows TBB issue, or I could be incredibly unlucky that
many dozens of exit relays, all happen to be blacklisted by Ixquick,
Startpage & DDG. Not likely.
Now, CAN'T connect to Google search (most of time; not tried that much),
nor Wikipedia. Connections on all "fail" in 1 or 2 seconds. I CAN connect
to all other TBB included search engines. No problem w/ most other sites.
Just now, it used a U.S. exit, but wouldn't connect (didn't copy the
address, but one of MANY dozens over last week or so), .
Since it STARTED happening - suddenly, in WINDOWS TBB 2.3.25-12 - where it
worked fine for weeks, haven't connected to Startpage / Ixquick a single
time. It "times out" IMMEDIATELY. Doesn't even "think about it." Dozens
of sessions, new identities, many dozens of exit relays. Same results w/
newest Windows 2.3.25-13 w/ CLEAN profile & nothing added that didn't come
in the bundle.
The odds of ALL those exit relay addresses being blacklisted are very
unlikely. But, since no others using Windows TBB 2.3.25-x have replied, no
idea.
Could try a 2.4.x or 3.0 version, just to test this one problem.
