Thanks my platform. (Windows 7 64bit)
Some specific things we would like feedback on are:
- Is configuring port forwarding insurmountable for you?
I didn't have to do this. I guess I could do that, but "normal" end users might not. (I know about the FP design.)
- If it didn't work, was it at least clear what was wrong?
I thought the progress would have stopped here, but it just took much longer than expected.
[Notice] Bootstrapped 50%: Loading relay descriptors.
Starting TBB again, reduces the time.
Might be the proxy that is in use, because on retrying again, I "stuck" at 85% or 90%.
What was the output in the Vidalia log?
The bridge log lines were the only difference.
- Were you able to use this as your main Tor process for a day?
Browsing is slower (due to the proxies in use I assume), but aside from that I could use it to get the information I require.
- Was it ever obvious to you that you had switched to another proxy
(this would have broken existing circuits)?
Maybe I was lucky. I couldn't say that I noticed that.
When I say proxy I'm referring to the JavaScript proxy that runs in the browser.
It's an alpha bundle, but I did not expect it to dump everything where the executable was. (Tor Browser) I thought I would be able to select where to extract.
I also saw a, to some maybe scary, console. Might be alpha stuff.
There might be more testing required for the durable of proxies. I report back if I find something strange.
