ItsNoGood!

This project was a bit too complicated for the likes of me. With this kind of stuff, I'm like a 7-year-old building a model plane meant for experienced adults. A 7-year-old probably could have done this better than me actually.

I did manage to navigate through all of the instructions and help here, eventually pushing all the right buttons. Figuring out how to open a Terminal on my Mac, then changing directories and putting in the command was perplexing, but upon success I felt pretty smart.

After finally setting up the Socks Host in Firefox correctly, I got it all working... for about three clicks at Google.com. I had disabled my wi-fi, and felt like I had crested Mount Everest for those few seconds. Then it all suddenly stopped working. Firefox let me know that no pages on the internet were available. I had lost the Internet connection -but I DID have it for that short time!

I haven't had any success since, even after trying to stop and restart stuff like the Socks on my phone, and the command on the Terminal. At the end of the day, I still don't know what any of this stuff is or means, and feel just as dumb as I was before I even dared to start this challenge.

Maybe my socks don't match, or my Terminal is terminally ill. What if my Proxy Server can't quite do a 1080. Shouldn't a 360, 540, or 720 spin be good enough? Did my port bouncer get lost in the tunnel? I don't know what it is, but it sounds pretty tough, so I haven't messed with it any.

In all seriousness, it DID work for those few glorious seconds, then stopped. Any ideas?

-for someone who won't totally understand the technical words, but can probably figure them out eventually...
