Our engineers are scrambling to fix thins. Please try again later." Have Pandora had problems for more then two days without apologizing on their blog, or have the exitNodes from this guide been blocked? Thanks for the guide. :)

For anyone else who has this problem: When setting up the proxy in FoxyProxy you do the following: - In the first tab just give the proxy any name you want (ie. Pandora) and make sure the "active" checkbox is checked - In the second tab (this is where I got stuck) you select "manual proxyconfiguration" and fill in the following settings: -> Hostname: 127.0.0.1 -> Port: 9050 -> Check the "SOCKS proxy?" checkbox and select "SOCKS v5" - From the third tab you continue following above tutorial by adding the patterns. Good luck! PS: Thank you for the great tutorial anyway :) OK, so I found out by searching the web a little further. For anyone else who has this problem:

First I selected some servers and added them to the config-file. But then you say: "The last thing I had to do was to configure FoxyProxy and add the following patterns:" configure what?!?! Indeed I am able to add the patterns to the patterns tab when adding a new proxy. But what do I fill out in the other tabs? Do I still have to search for some proxy that I fill in there? Because I was expecting Tor to handle all proxy sh** now I checked the "connect to the internet directly (no proxy)" radiobutton in the proxy settings of FoxyProxy. But this doesn't work for me. So what do I do? I don’t understand this tutorial at all. First I selected some servers and added them to the config-file.
