Hey there!

I want to try to use the tor proxy on my linux machine but I get an error message: "The Socks5 proxy "[PROXY]" refused the UDP associate request".

I clicked "Use a proxy for the buit-in web plugin and browser" and "Enabeld SOCKS5 proxy".
For both Address: localhost and port number: 9050

SOCKS auth: none
Other HTTP traffic proxy: SOCKS5

Other programs like e.g. deadbeef work fine with the proxy that is running on my linux.

Am I missing something?

You cannot use TOR for UDP traffic, and SL heavily relies on the latter.

It would be a very bad idea to use TOR anyway, since the CDN servers would most likely refuse to serve a TOR exit node, and even if it would, the TOR bandwidth is extremely low.

Use a VPN, instead, if you want some anonymity.

ah. ok.

Thank you for the fast reply!
