Thanks for sharing, a question you can use VPN with Tor Home premium.
Thanks for sharing. I'm hungry, can I get you a bite.?

 

[upnorth]

just take it with a big bag of salt.

I fully agree!

Spoiler: :p

Btw, are you actually able to retain Thors DNS along with your VPN?

Yes. I am using Okay Freedom and Seed4me right now regularly with Thor Premium Home.

Pls don't

I fully agree!

Yummy
I would have to check on that. I didn't knew Thor was using different DNS.

@upnorth I did DNS Leak Test and it appears Thor does not change the DNS settings. I am still using the DNS servers of ISP when I am not using any VPN (in that case it changes to the VPN provided DNS servers).

That is normal.

Thor Foresight with Dark Layer Guard enabled is supposed to change your DNS settings when your not using a VPN. Next time you test, click the button Scan/Scan Anyway below the text Thor Foresight. That should enforce the change.

If the VPN creates a TAP adapter, then Thor will not be able to apply the 127.7.7.x on the IPv4 and the traffic will not be filtered.

Thor And VPN Clients

VPN clients work in different ways: - Some VPN clients create TAP adapters in Network and Sharing center- Some VPN clients, alter the DNS settings in order to work. If the VPN creates a TAP adapte...

Wow I didn't know that. Thanks for the link. One thing I forgot to mention was that my ISP is one of those scumbags who don't allow customers to change their DNS servers unless it's encrypted (like in case of VPNs and DNScrypt, DoH).
I did a small test with pot player which Thor doesn't like at at all connecting to it's server for checking the updates.

Case 1 (No VPN): Thor blocks the "t1.daumcdn.net" via DarkLayer Guard
Case 2 (with either of VPNs turned ON): Thor does not block Pot Player from connecting to above URL.

Clicking on "Scan Anyway" does nothing to change the outcome. Well Press F in the next reply for me

So basically Thor intercepts the unencrypted DNS requests made by any app on the system. Apparantly I can't enable DoH in Firefor now.

Edit: I was hungry so I ate "can't" earlier.

You should be able exclude blocked domains. I previously wrote a small guide that hopefully could help.

Thor Foresight Home

Previous stable version called Heimdal PRO have now been updated to Thor Foresight Home version 2.5.131. The update should happen automatic and without any notifications or issues. First impression, better overview. The thread for the RC ( Release Candidate ) is still available here ...

I know, I removed it from the whitelist just for the test. Checking out the guide now

Really liking it so far (except for the VPN issue, which is not a big deal cause most of time I don't use a VPN)
