Actually, I'm not doing any of that. I only use TOR with Firefox and a proxy on
Yahoo messenger. As you will see in my newest posts, it's the newest version of
Stunnel that's causing the problems so I will stick with the older version. Are
you saying there's a way I can post to here via a proxy or using TOR? That would
be great!
