As far as i see (and understand), i'm set up: I'm running on my machine(s) tor; sometimes locally (squid3 -> privoxy -> tor) or, at home, through an external torbox (a pi rasperry). As for Sweden, you might be right. BUT: as an european, at least theoretically, i'd have the chance to sue them (and if it's by the european court in Luxembourg ;-) :badgrin: Cheers! -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
