I guess check.torproject.org (btw: you should allways use the https version of it) just compairs your source IP with the list of exit- nodes (what else should it be doing?). And because your source IP matches with an exit-node: 96.60.223.5 http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/router_detail.php?FP=a0470c0ea30c3a4d5 8048db134b8f9e7c6b52d6c it will always tell you, that you are using tor even if you don't. *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
