[tor-talk] Fwd: TOR problems - seriously PLEASE HELP ME!

countries.
As Jonathan mentioned in a reply to your post already, you are able to
define a set of allowed exit countries (ie poland only) by following these
instructions on wikihow: http://www.wikihow.com/Set-a-
Specific-Country-in-a-Tor-Browser

>Can you somehow mask the fact that you use TOR browser, substituting the
name of regular firefox?
The destination server (the website which says "don't support tor
connections") probably doesn't block connections because of the browser you
are using. Since every node in the tor network exposes its "tor-membership"
to the network itself, it will always be possible to determine whether you
are using tor or not. On this specific manner, a VPN connection may help
you out, but please be aware that the provider of this VPN will then be
able to log and maybe intercept your traffic.

>There is still a question of what effect on the release of real IP, with

Windows restart, injected its your packages (every couple of seconds it
sends/receives packets on 443 port)
The most internet security solutions intercept ssl traffic to scan the
contents of these connections for any Trojans or viruses. If not
implemented with perfect care, these solutions probably more harm you than
they help securing anything. You find an example of this here:

Not sure, what you mean here. Perhaps THEY don't support (i.e. block)
connections from Tor users, because they are afraid of spam or other stupid
reasons. Nothing you can really do here. Websites blocking Tor is a huge
problem.

There are always three nodes. The amazon node should be your guard relay
(where you enter the Tor network). Then there are two relays after that.
There
isn't really any way to change that. Three hops should be sufficient for
decent anonymity, no real need to worry here.

Here's a simple guide on how to do that:
