For testing reasons, I have to run tor without torbrowser bundle on windows.
I do the following:
1) Open cmd prompt windows
2) chdir to the directory where tor.exe is
3) Execute cmd line: tor.exe
If I start Firefox, and edit the proxy settings to 127.0.0.1 and port 9050, I am able to surf internet, but I don't know why I can't access to .onion sites (hidden services). But if I start the tor browser bundle, I can do it. What can I do?
