Re: [tor-talk] socks connect

[Martin S <shieldfire@xxxxxxxxx>]

With the TestSocks setting I get

Sep 10 15:34:24.000 [notice] Your application (using socks5 to port 443) instruc
Sep 10 15:34:47.000 [notice] Your application (using socks5 to port 443) instruc

in the log file. However, in the torrc file I have
ORPort 9001

not 443.
I don't know if that is anything to do with the problem?
I'm not getting any errors, only warnings in the /var/log/tor/log file.
