Thank you very much for the replies.
I tried the onion-location feature a few times. I was able to get it to redirect one time but other times it doesn’t seem to be working. Another time I went on the torproject.org website and even after about 10 minutes it hasn’t redirected. I also remember when I first installed this version of alpha it did seem to work for me so it seems to be hit or miss.
As far as the two versions running side by side I don’t mind having to run them separately. I just wanted to mention it since I wasn’t sure what was meant by “non-standard setups”
Thanks.
