Sorry, I have to update the start page. We don't use TransPort much anymore. Only for user installed applications, misc things, subject to be removed as a whole. Due to the valid criticism of identity correlation we stopped mixing everything into one TransPort.

Most applications are now configured to use SocksPort (Tor Browser...). The ones which only support http, not socks, these are the ones because I created this thread.

I hope it seems now.
