Embedded IM using Tor
I am running firefox enabled with tor. If I use embedded IM e.g. yahoo or gtalk within the browser will the connection to the yahoo/google chatserver go through Tor or directly.

Re: Embedded IM using Tor
Yes, through Tor. All communications coming from Firefox *should* use the proxy settings you specify. There have been cases in the past where Firefox didn't honor the proxy settings. However, those issues have since been fixed. - Kyle On Fri, Sep 19, 2008 at 1:22 PM, M [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes through tor or yes directly?

I have heard of Javascript breaking Tor but that might be speculation. Regardless, running Javascript while using Tor is dangerous. I would suggest using a program like Pidgin Ringo On Fri, Sep 19, 2008 at 2:42 PM, Kyle Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes, through Tor.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 from what i understand, Torbutton should take care of this. make sure all of the crucial (or critical ... can't remember) settings are activated inside Torbutton. then, if your IM doesn't work, torbutton is doing its job. if your IM is working then it is safe to assume all traffic is properly being routed thru Tor. but using pidgin is probably better if that is an option. there is also pidgin portable.
