About this tag
Discussions tagged with webproxy on WindowsForum.com cover issues related to web proxy auto-discovery (WPAD) and proxy configuration tools. One thread addresses a Windows 8 DNS warning caused by WPAD timeout, resolved by creating a HOSTS file with localhost entry. Another thread seeks forums for discussing Tor, Vidalia, and FoxyProxy setup, noting that FoxyProxy's own forum does not support Tor. These topics involve troubleshooting proxy-related network errors and configuring proxy software for privacy or routing purposes.

    Windows 7 Seeking Forums for Discussing Tor, Vidalia, and FoxyProxy Setup

    Didn't know where to post this. I am looking for a sub-forum here or some forum elsewhere that I can discuss set up with Tor/Vidalia/Foxyproxy. FoxyProxy forum does not support Tor. Any suggestions?
