hi all,

I’m using Tor (http://tor.eff.org/) to browse the net. Am I still protected by Avast’s webshield?

Rgds,

Yes… WebShield scans HTTP traffic regardless the browse you’re using.
Are you using XP? Do you use any local proxy application (like annonymizers)?

Yes, Tor+Privoxy is quite popular combination, although I don’t use them.

I hope the links below help.

Can’t you post what did you do to solve the problem?
It could help the others… it could say if we’re giving a good help here…
Please, don’t think only in your problem, asking and when solved go away…

Actually, it is enough information for anyone who can set up Tor. However, since I don’t have my own server, fixed IP address or P2P apps, I don’t feel I need some anonymity apps including Tor. In fact, I use Proxomitron (R.I.P., Scott) but as a web filtering app.

Having tough time? I was just wondering if you have a tradition of changing HN to celebrate the holiday season. Take care.

Basically alanrf is right especially about major browsers, which should be covered by Web shield by default, but some apps throw screwballs… Oh, yes, if not you are unsure, why not give a try to ecar download. Talking of addenda.
