Re: [tor-talk] TorBirdy seems to connect to the same exit node again and again

Hello Leeroy,

Cool! Thank you! Works like a charm :)

Terminal commands are becoming my favorite. They sort of remind me of

Thanks again to everyone involved, looking into my little torbirdy world
and replying and suggesting fixes!!!

Cheers
