The only criticism about PortableTor that I have (well, had) was regarding the non-stealthy nature of the program, as the Tor Data Directory was written to the "Application Data" folder on the computer. I wrote this program for two main reasons: to address that issue, and that I'm pretty addicted to portabalising apps wherever I can.Silivrenion wrote:Your criticism on Portabletor, or questions about it, are strongly appreciated.
Way I figure it - if they opened Torvox up, they plan to connect to Tor. I cant see any other real purpose to it, so I may as well do all the hard work for the end user.Silivrenion wrote:I took a look at your software and how it works, and I like the idea of automatically minimizing / starting tor (something I was pondering on setting originally, but I figured the end-user would appreciate control of whether to connect to Tor, at their own discretion.)

Although the directory structure is in the style of the PortableApps Format by John Haller, it was not written with the idea of interfacing with the PortableApps Menu. Mainly because I don't like the PAM (PStart was the launcher I had in mind). However, I am trying to work on interoperability, so far to no avail.Silivrenion wrote:Very interesting directory structure, by the way. Was this built for PortableApps interfacing? You mentioned that you found my structure confusing, and I was wondering how so.

Yeah, I realised this when I actually started trying to write the feature.Silivrenion wrote:You mentioned showing your Tor IP address during a connection class. As far as I am aware, this can't be done simply for the end user, as Tor will establish multiple connections at any one time, and switch through them with timeouts.
