    Hi there

    I'm a new & happy RSSOwl user, migrating from Google Reader.

    Fact: Google knows most things about us http://w3techs.com/blog/entry/google_
    cant_track_every_single_click_of_your_web_surfing_only_most_of_them

    They also host a lot of feeds via the feedburner service. When loading these
    feeds the request to google shows all feeds that one given IP address is
    reading.

    I would therefore like to keep my privacy and use Tor to download all my
    feeds.

    What is the best way to setup RSSOwl to use Tor on Windows?

    Thank you for your help!

    Pete

    I am not having much knowledge about Tor. Isnt this just a proxy? If so, if
    you can enter the proxy URL to RSSOwl it should work I would assume. RSSOwl
    can easily load feeds from localhost if a service is active.
