Re: Extremely Concerning that Linux Mint Forums Block Tor

Sometimes it will block me with my VPN on. Depends on what city I'm using. It is not the city you're using but it is the exit node IP Address from TOR, a Proxy, or VPN that you are using, as they go through several connections before they exit to that particular IP Address exit node and then try to...

No, and this is true for all the linux image backup utilities, foxclone, rescuezilla and clonezilla. All they understand are used blocks on partitions wi...
