[tor-talk] ISP CenturyLink Blocking Tor?

[nathaniel at moltennetworks.co.uk]

I waited and switched my laptop back to Debian Linux from Windows 8.1  
and build my WiFi Driver from source. (it was a Microsoft Driver for  
the Edimax Nano Wifi) (the source was from edimax) and afterwards I  
was able to connect to Tor without crashing the entire WiFi Network. I  
wonder if Microsoft's Driver was tapped or something. I agree the US  
is not as safe as it used to be.
