This puzzle only you can save! ;-)
Glad it works for you again.

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. :-[
