getting this to work in a situation where facebook is banned looks utterly futile. I can connect to Facebook fine using the "Tor Status Applet" (a tunnel/proxy service) since I live in China but when I open Hermes and click on Retrieve, nothing happens. it says "fetching friends" for about 5 minutes and then says network error or something like check connection.

my question is, why is it not even requesting to "validate" or open up the browser. I have the browser open in the background and logged into FB, waiting for the app to chime in but nothing happens. :S

any ideas?
