<p><font color="#009999">SelekTOR Main Window Interface Options</font></p>
<p><strong>Active Country</strong><br/>
Select your desired exit
country here. SelekTOR will retrieve the available exit nodes for
this country if it has any.</p>
<p><strong>Proxy Mode : </strong><strong>Disabled</strong><br/>
Proxying
via SelekTOR/Tor is disabled, SelekTOR will no longer exert any
control over the system proxy settings.<br/>
Manual configuration of
your web browser proxy settings will be required.</p>
<p><strong>Proxy Mode : Proxy all traffic</strong><br/>
Enable this
mode to proxy all traffic through the active tor proxy node.<br/>
Uses
3 hop circuits for best anonymity (Tor default)<br/>
Not suitable for
streaming.</p>
<p><strong>Proxy Mode : Proxy by pattern</strong><br/>
Enable this
mode to proxy selectively by URL pattern through the active tor proxy
node.<br/>
Uses 2 hop circuits for best latency and sacrifices some
anonymity.</p>
<p><strong>Set Guard Nodes<br/>
</strong>Opens the guard node
selection window.</p>
<p><font color="#009999">Node Table Options (Right Click)</font></p>
<p><strong>Node Details</strong><br/>
Brings node details of the
selected node in your default web browser, provided by Atlas.</p>
<p><strong>Whois</strong><br/>
Provides whois information of the
selected node.</p>
<p><strong>Begin Test Cycle</strong><br/>

testing.</p>
<p><font color="#009999">Active Circuit Information</font></p>
<p><strong>Nickname</strong><br/>

located.</p>
<p><strong>BandWidth (MB/s)</strong><br/>
This indicator shows the

<p><strong>Stable</strong><br/>
Whether the node has enough uptime to
be considered stable.</p>
<p><strong>Latency (ms)</strong><br/>
This indicator shows the
latency to the test URL via the currently selected Tor exit node. The
latency provides an indication of the response time of the node in
milliseconds, where 1000ms = 1 second.</p>
<p><strong>Streams</strong><br/>
This indicator shows the number of
active streams on the active node.</p>
<p><font color="#009999">SelekTOR System Tray Interface Options
(Right Click System Tray Icon)</font></p>
<p><strong>Proxy Mode : </strong><strong>Disabled</strong><br/>
Proxying
via SelekTOR/Tor is disabled, SelekTOR will no longer exert any
control over the system proxy settings.<br/>
Manual configuration of
your web browser proxy settings will be required.</p>
<p><strong>Mode: Proxy All</strong><br/>
Enable this mode to proxy
all traffic through the active tor proxy node.<br/>
Not suitable for
multimedia streaming.</p>
<p><strong>Mode: Proxy by Pattern</strong><br/>
Enable this mode to
proxy selectively by URL pattern through the active tor proxy node.</p>
<p><strong>Hide / Show GUI.</strong><br/>
Change GUI visibility.</p>
<p><strong>Quit SelekTOR.</strong><br/>
Quit the application.</p>
<p><font color="#009999">SelekTOR Basic Preferences Options</font></p>
<p><strong>Hide To Tray on Startup<br/>
</strong>The GUI will be
hidden on start up, can be made visible again by double clicking the
SelekTOR icon in the system tray.</p>
<p><strong>Autostart SelekTOR</strong><br/>
SelekTOR will autostart
at login.</p>
<p><strong>Check for updates on startup.</strong><br/>
Will check if
any updates of SelekTOR are available from Dazzleships Dot Net.</p>
<p><strong>Disable Tray Icon.</strong><br/>
Disables system tray
functionality.</p>
<p><strong>Disable desktop notifications</strong><br/>
Turn of all
desktop notifications from SelekTOR.</p>
<p><strong>Minimise at startup<br/>
</strong>Minimise SelekTOR to the
taskbar on startup.</p>
<p><strong>Minimise instead of exit on close<br/>
</strong>Instead of
quitting SelekTOR minimise to the taskbar on clicking the main window
close control icon.</p>
<p><strong>Hide instead of minimise<br/>
</strong>Instead of
minimising SelekTOR to the taskbar completely hide SelekTOR.</p>
<p><strong>Secure delete Tor caches on exit</strong><br/>
Securely
wipes the Tor caches by renaming and overwriting with zeros prior
to deletion.</p>
<p><font color="#009999">SelekTOR Advanced Preferences Options</font></p>
<p><strong>Tor Listening Port</strong><br/>
The main listening port
on which the Tor client will listen for incoming connections, usually
from whichever proxy server you are using. Port 9054 is the SelekTOR
default.</p>
<p><strong>Tor Bridge Address</strong><br/>
If you need to bypass an
ISP block then enter a valid TOR bridge address in here.<br/>
Use the
button “Get Bridges” to find valid TOR bridge addresses.</p>
<p><strong>Safe Socks</strong><br/>
When enabled, Tor will reject
application connections that use unsafe variants of the socks
protocolones that only provide an IP address, meaning the
application is doing a DNS resolve first. Specifically, these are
socks4 and socks5 when not doing remote DNS.</p>
<p><strong>Warn Unsafe</strong><br/>
When enabled, Tor will warn
whenever a request is received that only contains an IP address
instead of a hostname. Allowing applications to do DNS resolves
themselves is usually a bad idea and can leak your location to
attackers.</p>
<p><strong>Test Socks</strong><br/>
When enabled, Tor will make a
notice-level log entry for each connection to the Socks port
indicating whether the request used a safe socks protocol or an
unsafe one (see above entry on SafeSocks). This helps to determine
whether an application using Tor is possibly leaking DNS requests.</p>
<p><strong>Logging Level</strong><br/>
Set the Tor client logging
level, all output is to StdOut console to avoid disk writes.</p>
<p><strong>Safe Logging</strong><br/>
When enabled, Tor will scrub
potentially sensitive strings from log messages (e.g. addresses) by
replacing them with the string [scrubbed]. This way logs can still be
useful, but they dont leave behind personally identifying
information about what sites a user might have visited.</p>
<p><strong>Avoid Disk Writes</strong><br/>
When enabled, Tor will try
to write to disk less frequently than we would otherwise. This is
useful when running on flash memory or other media that support only
a limited number of writes.</p>
<p><strong>Startup Arguments</strong><br/>
This will pass any user
specified startup arguments to the Tor client, see Tor Manual for a
list of valid command line arguments.</p>
<p><strong>Default HTTP Proxy</strong><br/>
You can specify a
downstream proxy server here, anything not routed through TOR will be
sent to the proxy server. Leaving it blank will mean anything not
routed through TOR will go directly to the net, this is the default.</p>
<p><font color="#009999">TOR Client Monitor</font></p>
<p><strong>Startup Arguments<br/>
</strong>This displays all the
arguments that are passed at startup to the Tor client.</p>
<p><strong>StdOut Monitor<br/>
</strong>This displays the output from
the Tor clients Stdout logging stream in realtime.</p>
<p><font color="#009999">SelekTOR Pattern Editing</font></p>
<p><strong>Proxy Pattern Editor</strong><br/>
The pattern editor
allows you to modify, add, delete or disable URL patterns used to
redirect specific URLs via the Tor socks proxy. Only use this if
you know what you are doing as any errors made here can cause
proxying to fail completely.</p>
<p><strong>Quick Add Pattern</strong><br/>
Quick add pattern allows
you to quickly add a new pattern for the currently active country. An
example is given below:</p>
<p>Description: Newzbin<br/>
Pattern: *newzbin.com*</p>
<p><strong>Import Patterns</strong><br/>
Pattern files are stored in
a ZIP file. This zip file can be directly imported into SelekTOR
using this action.</p>
<p><strong>Export Patterns</strong><br/>
This allows you to export
all your user created pattern files as a SelekTOR compatible zipped
import file.</p>
