hi,

ok, so who REALLY expects a well written FAQ ... ;-}

>> Yes, it is expected behavior.

    > But we consider this a feature with Tor, not a bug

fair enuf.  that's a choice.

but i i'd were to choose to bypass/circumvent this geolocation detection 
behavior, what's the most appropriate way to do this?

i can, of course, set the general proxy behavior at the OS level to bypass 
proxy completely for google.com ... but that's not a clean solution.

is it possible to force navigation to specific URL's/Domains etc to open a new 
circuit through a specific set of endpoints, say US only?

cheers,

richard
