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!
