[Fwd: Re: Tor and https]

[Ben Clifford]

My situation now stands as:

1) I can get Plesk working with Tor - it was not working before because I 
had javascript turned off!! Have now turned it on - lose a bit of security 
but if that is what it takes to get it to work.

2) I cannot get Plesk working with Tor AND privoxy. Privoxy seems to cause 
problems. Can anyone explain why? Do I need privoxy in this instance as I am 
feeding an IP address and not a domain name:   https://207.218.156.36:8443

3) Have not been using Plesk for long time frame so not experienced problems 
cause of changing IP yet - will let you know how it goes. You said you had a 
problem with this - did you find anyway round it?
