what a coincidence, I talked to a user last week with the same problem, same sonic firewall. It turns out that his university was breaking all SSL by trying to proxy the connection. It seemed it was purposely breaking the ssl, probably for logging/policy reasons. The CA was installed by the university on their mandated laptops, so students would never know they were mitm'd the entire time. Sounds like something Burma did a year or so ago too. -- Andrew http://tpo.is/contact pgp 0x74ED336B _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
