TOR proxy test FAILED! Check your proxy and Polipo settings.
I have TOR, Privoxy & TOR Button running and when surfing to "https:/
"You are not using TOR." and provides the IP address I am using.
This happens when using WiFi at the local library and at Starbucks.
I then perform a proxy test in TOR Button preferences and receive the following message:
"TOR proxy test FAILED! Check your proxy and Polipo settings."
I'm using FireFox version 3.0.16, TOR Button 1.2.3, TOR v0.2.0.34, Privoxy 3.0.8 and UBUNTU HARDY HERON 8.04 x64.
I get the above errors whether I use Polipo or manually configure FireFox to use TOR.
When I manually configure FireFox to use TOR, I use the following settings:
*Use Custom proxy settings.
HTTP Proxy: 127.0.0.1 Port: 8118
SSL Proxy: 127.0.0.1 Port: 8118
SOCKS Host: 127.0.0.1 Port: 9050
*SOCKS v5
No proxies for: 127.0.0.1
