To get to this panel, press Settings
at the main interface and afterwards select Network
from the list to the left.
In this section you can configure all settings relevant to the network connections of JonDo.
This function is necessary if you can not connect to the service, e.g. because it is blocked by your company's firewall or by your Internet service provider. Please, only apply these settings if you can not connect directly to the services. You will be reducing your bandwidth and the process of connecting is made more difficult for no reason.
Connecting to other JAP/JonDo users in order to reach a service
By activating this option you can connect to a service with somebody else's JonDo, which acts as a forwarding server.
For JonDo to protect your communication on the Internet it has to be interposed between your browser and the Internet. Such a local intermediary is called a local proxy. The following settings are specific to the proxy functionality of the program.
Port number
Enter your port number here at which JonDo will accept connections from
your browser. Please remember that your browser's settings must be adjusted accordingly. You have to configure the
HTTPS proxy settings of applications that should use JonDo to this port and
localhost or 127.0.0.1, respective, as host. Some JonDonym services also support the SOCKS5
proxy protocol additionally to HTTP.
Notice
The port number is preset to 4001 in JonDo. We recommend keeping it since
it is linked to many other settings, including JonDoFox. Only change the port if you know just
why you need to do it in your case.
Allow access to JAP/JonDo only from my PC
If this option is active only your own PC will be able to connect to your
JonDo.
If it is deactivated all PCs on the network or the Internet may connect to your JonDo. Unauthorized individuals may then abuse your JonDo for illegal purposes and also use the data volume you paid for it. As long a you do not have good reason to allow other PCs access, it is recommended to keep this setting activated for security reasons.
In some networks a connection to the Internet is only possible through the company's or the ISP's proxy. If this is the case for you, you can edit the settings needed for your JonDo to connect to the proxy here.
Hint: If you like, you can also enter a local Tor client here for an additional layer of security. Your connection will be slower though.
I have to use a "compulsory" proxy
Activate this option to tell JonDo that a proxy is needed for access to the
Internet.
Type
Enter the type of proxy your using. Possible types are "SOCKS" or
"HTTP/HTTPS". For Tor enter "SOCKS" here.
Host
Enter the host name or the IP address of your proxy here. For Tor enter
"localhost".
Port
Enter the port at which your proxy accepts connections. For Tor enter
9050.
Authorization needed for proxy
Select this field if you have to authorize with your proxy.
User ID
Enter your username for accessing the proxy. The password will be asked for
automatically upon the first connection attempt.
