I can't access any .onion sites !? - john - 05-16-2014 11:38 PM

So i got a new laptop, windows 8.1, clean, brand new... i donwload the lastest Tor Browser Bundle (Version 3.5.2.1 - Windows 8, 7, Vista, and XP).
First time i started it...it connected it and the only 2 sites i can visit till now is the Tor(.onion) and hiddenWiki page.... any other .onion pages give this error:

Unable to connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at ay5kwknh6znfmcbb.onion.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that TorBrowser is permitted to access the Web.)

I looked into the firewall permissions and tried changing my identity several times and my connection is in no proxy whatsoever... but no success...

Anything i'm doing wrong? I never had this problem before...

Thanks!!!

Tor suffered a huge DDoS attack lately and one of the big supporters of tor apparently got arrested and a hung number of sites he kept running went down.

My partner and i endorse making use of http://www.vpnpower.net to help unblock internet sites. I've been with them since 4 years.
