Tallow not starting #15

Closed MoNTE48 closed 6 years ago

MoNTE48 commented 6 years ago

Hello. My config - Windows 10 x64, build 1803 I try run portatable or install version, but after i run Tallow.exe and give admin right, nothing happens. I've tried it many times, rebooting is also not helping

basil00 commented 6 years ago

First try running Tallow from the command line (as Administrator in the c:\Program Files (x86)\Tallow directory). It should print some logging information which may indicate the problem.

basil00 commented 6 years ago

It occurred to me that the problem may be related to a recent WinDivert issue. I will release an updated version of Tallow in a day or two, and maybe that will resolve the problem.

basil00 commented 6 years ago

A new version of Tallow is now available: https://github.com/basil00/TorWall/releases/tag/v1.2

Not sure if this will fix the issue but it is worth trying.

MoNTE48 commented 6 years ago

I try run Tallow in command line

C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Tallow

C:\Program Files (x86)\Tallow>tallow.exe

C:\Program Files (x86)\Tallow>tallow.exe

I try 1.2 ver - same problem... After i give admin permission - nothing happens

basil00 commented 6 years ago

OK so Tallow literally does nothing, not even any output to the console. This is strange.

Are you running the console as Administrator? Otherwise I'd guess that something is blocking Tallow from running, e.g., anti-virus/firewall.

MoNTE48 commented 6 years ago

@basil00 yes, as admin. I now use any anti-virus or firewall. Only default Windows 10 Defender.

basil00 commented 6 years ago

I am not sure what is causing the issue, unless Defender is somehow blocking it.

MoNTE48 commented 6 years ago

Does not look like. Otherwise, the defender would issue a notification.Can you make a debug build with a full log output to the console?

basil00 commented 6 years ago

I will create a version with more logging, but will have to get back on this.

basil00 commented 6 years ago

I added more debugging output during initialization. The version 1.2 binaries have been updated and can be downloaded from here: https://github.com/basil00/TorWall/releases/tag/v1.2

First, uninstall (or delete) the old version, then try running the new version from the console. It should print a copyright message at the very least.

Lol tor

basil00 commented 6 years ago

Still might have been something blocking the exe. Anyway, seems to be resolved.
