    How do I make FF and Tor use VPN and system uses default ethernet


    Hi guys,

    I've read about split tunneling but can't make sense of it. I just want 2 applications (FF and TOR) to use the vpn while Edge and all the stuff in the background (system) use the regular connection. Like what's the point of jumping on the vpn to use FF when my weather tile starts using the same ip?

    #1 Is this possible?

    #2 If yes, how?

    #3 I searched for a tutorial on split tunneling, didn't find it.

    :)

  2. Making Tor Browser as default browser and configuring VPN (Windows 10)

    Hi, guys!

    On Tor Browser as default

    I am trying to make Tor Browser my default browser, but when I click on the default browser options, only IE and Microsoft Edge appear. I opened the Tor Browser and go to its settings, and clicked the command that enables Tor Browser to be the default browser,
    but it doesn't work. Prior to this I made IE 11 my default browser (I find Microsoft Edge to be very slow in loading pages), so now IE remains the default. How can I configure Tor Browser as my default?

    On Configuring a VPN

    I subscribed to a free VPN. I configured its settings to launch upon startup and try to make a connection upon startup. This way, I am hoping that all internet traffic would pass through the VPN (Am I correct in this assumption?).

    Now, I know that I can set a VPN connection in Windows 10 settings or Control Panel. However, I do not know how to do it. There are several boxes that I need to fill up but I don't know where or how to find the appropriate answers. (If I set a VPN connection
    in Windows 10, will all traffic pass via the VPN?) My VPN provider automatically choose the server once a connection is made.

    I am hoping that all my internet traffic will pass through a VPN and through the tor network as a security and privacy measure.

  3. Making Tor Browser as default browser and configuring VPN (Windows 10)

    In order for the Tor browser to appear in Default Programs or Default Apps listing, it needs to be "registered" with Default Programs manually. See:

    Hi Hewlett,

    I would suggest you to uninstall and reinstall Tor browser and check if you get the option in setting to set Tor browser as default.
