Roger, that's a very good answer. But it holds only half of the solution. Matthew Finkel gave the second part: open TBB, check the network settings and there one will find the elusive port. Could someone with access to the FAQ put an extra paragraph on how to locate the random port? After all, maybe the port is better left floating around instead of the fixed version. _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
