Using applications with SOCKS proxy

Most premium services offer SOCKS proxies. These cascades are labeled with Kaskade mit SOCKS-Support. You may use them with applications, which supports SOCKS proxies. If your application supports both (HTTP and SOCKS proxy), please prefer the using of HTTP proxy together with JonDonym.

You will need to enter the following in the proxy settings:

  • Hostname/IP address:127.0.0.1
  • Port: 4001 (Attention: If you have setup a different listen port than 4001 in JonDo you need to input it here instead of 4001 too.)

Mozilla Thunderbird

The reasons as to why using Mozilla Thunderbird together with JonDonym may be:
  • You have to use unsave networks like WLAN at the airport or hotel and need a secure connection to your mail provider.
  • You would like to have a data retention free or anonymous email account.

If you would like to have an anonymous email account, please create a new account first. Choose an E-Mail address of the form anonymous1234abcd@xx.yy, that is "anonymous" + numbers + letters. If all JonDo users create addresses of this form, they are much less distinguishable. You can use JonDoFox to create the account in the web interface of the new provider. Some recommendations for a mail provider:

Proxy Settings

Open the dialog "Preferences". The proxy settings you will find at "Advanced -> Network -> Connection button ".

Preferences

Set ALL Thunderbird proxies to host=127.0.0.1, port=4001.

Connection Settings

Sending emails

Because of spam protection all premium exit mixes block port 25. You can use port 456 (SMTP-SSL) or port 587 (submission) for sending emails with Thunderbird. Please check whether your mail provider offers these possibilities.

You can configure your SMTP server in "Account Settings -> Outgoing Server". Choose the outgoing email server and adapt the settings.
