Configuring Your Applications for TOR
NOTE: TOR only works on Windows XP
and earlier versions.
Generally, you should not need to modify any settings in
your TCP/IP applications (browser, email program, etc)
if you have configured the Windows'
IP ROUTE, HOSTS and ARP tables correctly and have
successfully run a PING test to the distant station.
If you experienced problems with an application not
using the correct network, i.e. radio network vs.
internet, look for a solution in the entries in
your Windows IP
ROUTE, HOSTS and ARP tables.
For example, if you are trying to communicate with a
mail server on the radio network, make sure that the
email account setting in your email program either specifies
the mail server's IP address (beginning with 44) or that
there is an entry in the
HOSTS table that translates the server's name, e.g.
mail.SV2AGW.net, to an IP address, e.g.
44.0.0.6.
For all IP packets with addresses beginning with 44, Windows should send them to the SV2AGW TOR adapter. If if doesn't do
that,
then add a route in the
IP Route Table
linking the mail server's IP address,
e.g. 44.0.0.6, with the SV2AGW TOR adapter, e.g.
44.0.0.2.
And finally make sure there is an
ARP table
entry that links
the server's IP address, e.g. 44.0.0.6, with the
server's correct packet callsign, e.g. SV2AGW-8.
Without that entry, Windows will send a packet to "QST"
asking for the station with that IP address to report
back with its callsign.
If your use a gateway station and that station is
running a proxy server program, then you may need to
configure your internet programs for that. See the
Gate Setup page
for an example of how to do this in Internet Explorer.
