  • Is this whatismyip address on the dns server that should have all its traffic going through tor or just DNS? what is my ip address works by responding with the ip address that is connecting to it. If you are only trying to have dns go over tor what is my ip would respond with a non tor ip address but if all traffic is going through tor then yes something is not working.

    Edit: Reading more in depth of your post 100% whatismyipaddress will not return your tor ip. You’ve just offloaded name resultion ie. www.google.com is 123.123.123.123 ip address. You are still connecting to websites with your ISP ip.




  • I guess some perspective on some other comments here. I have a dell r720xd dual xenon’s 16 total cores 128gb ram it uses roughly 200watts per hour with the 11000w power supplies. it can get fairly loud when using lots processing power. I bought a 12u rack to mount it nicely in my office. It is also my guest bedroom, while everyone we have had doesn’t mind the noise not all guests would appreciate the white noise even with many of the cpu intensive stuff turned off and it as quiet as it goes. Fans full tilt would be obnoxious and hard to concentrate.






  • I found a distro that would install on the windows file system and boot. Apparently it was slackware based didn’t have a concept in my head of package managers couldn’t figure out how to install gaim (now pidgin) gave up. Didn’t go back for another 4 years doing C in college. Didn’t look back from there.
