Title: Problem while using Iceweasel on Tails 0.19
Post by: enlightener on July 19, 2013, 12:23 pm

Whenever I login into SR Forums/SR or post a message,my page loads with the following message being displayed

"onion.to
A connection to betterwebefriendsthanenemies.onion could not be established. General failure.
Powered by Proxxor 2.4.0"

Now when I hit the back button and then click on "Silk Road forums" link it shows I am logged in or my post has been updated successfully on the thread that I posted

Does anyone else face a similar problem/what should I do to avoid this

love n light

Why are you using the onion.to link? Iceweasel on Tails works with Tor, but then you're sending your connection back over clearnet to a Tor in-proxy. Remove the .to from the end.
