I downloaded and installed "PirateBrowser" which is a Firefox browser configured to use vidalia/tor.
I assume this is simply just a browser set up to use an anonymous proxy? I am not exactly a beginner when it comes to using anonymous proxies. I have been gathering proxy lists, scanning them with software to see if they are valid/anonymous and configuring my browser to use them for years. However I am no expert. This Vidalia/Tor has me confused. The program loads, connects to the Tor network and everything looks and acts well. However when I check my stats at various websites that I use such as (http://www.lagado.com/proxy-test) my IP address is revealed along with my ISP amd other accurate information. I also checked https://check.torproject.org/ and it says that it is not working. I am getting no errors. Everything seems to be working properly. Maybe I am overlooking something simple? Maybe it is not what I thought it was? Any help would be appreciated.
