Yes, but I wonder why TDE apps will not use system proxy settings. This is my
main reason for problems encountered with online weather pages, and with
weather apps on my smartphone.
If I am asking what's the weather, then they already know the location close
enough for my own information. The weather is about the same if it is in the
same city. But no, they want to know my precise real location, as I sit here
at my desk, even if I am wondering what is the weather like in London or
Moscow. Is it a matter of national security, to know this about me?
It would be nice to be able to torify TDE apps. :-[

P.S. Sorry, resending to the TDE list. (For some reason I keep getting
Stefan's private email as the "reply to" address; must be he is another
sending to the old list.) Anyway, apologies for the duplicates!

Ha! found it! (or at least I believe so).
I poked around in network settings in the TDE Control Center, and it
turns out that proxy had been set to "manually specify proxy
settings"; once I clicked change to direct connection, then updated
kweather, suddenly I have information for my weather stations.
Now the puzzle is, why are my network and proxy settings changed in
the TDE Control Center, when in fact I never use those settings. I
have my machine set for direct connection, and manually specify proxy
settings for individual applications like browsers or whatever. Besides my local weather (San Francisco - SFO), I
like to check
the weather at various places where I've lived, have family or
friends; not only here in the US, but some other locations round
the world. Mostly I just use my local weather, but I do like to
wonder now and then what it's like elsewhere.
I have 7 stations and all of them show the information :/
