Pandora is an excellent music service bar none. When they decided to limit the service to United States only, we died a little inside. Just when we’ve almost gotten over our grief, a simple guide intervened and showed how to access Pandora’s service outside US.
In the past we’ve been through a number of non-working guides, fortunately this isn’t one of them. As this guide is being typed, our dear old friend Pandora is playing for us 
Steps
1) Download and install Tor
2) Start > Tor > Torrc ; Paste the following at the bottom and save:
StrictExitNodes 1
exitnodes desync, 0xL37N1Tor, agrippator, whistlersmother, lefkada, bettyboop, croeso, TorLuwakOrg, nixnix, inap1, redpineapple, cronic, sasquatch, slowturtle2
3) Download tor.pac and place it at your C: drive
4) Configure your browser:
Internet Explorer
Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings
Check ‘Use automatic configuration script’ and fill the textbox with: file://c:\tor.pac
Firefox
Tools > Options > Advanced > Connections > Settings
Check ‘Automatic proxy configuration URL’ and fill the textbox with: file:///C:/tor.pac
5) Run Tor (Start > Tor > Tor)
There you have it; after running Tor, you are able to access Pandora’s service.
Note: It will take a few minutes for Tor to configure itself; the following message will appear once the configuration process is done:
[notice] We now have enough directory information to build circuits.

It’s a good thing that I signed up with them when they were still in beta. I listen to it all the time.
It pays to be on the inside when things like this come out. Half the time they are duds, a handful of the are gems though like Pandora.
This was a lifesaver, for me anyway. I was about to go crazy because I had spent about four hours trying to find a way to listen to Pandora last night. This is the only thing that worked.
It’s awesome.

Are there any other Tor servers? Only about 4 are known, and they are never on. My Tor generally says
failed to choose exit server
No specified exit routers seem to be running, and strict nodes is set: can’t choose an exit
I’m having the same issue as Chris, is this purely a matter of relying on one of the specified exit servers to be running? This workaround worked for me a few days ago, but hasn’t worked since.
…forgot to say, other than that, thanks a bunch for posting the guide.
Sorry for the multiple posts, but just to follow up on Chris’ question. I sorted my configuration out by going to this page :
https://torstat.xenobite.eu/index.php?SortBy=G
Sort by CC (geo-location), then look for some exit nodes with ‘yes’ under the ‘exit’ column. I cross-checked the nodes included in the guide above, and all had ‘no’. I’m guessing this is why we were getting exit router problems.

Enter some ‘yes’ nodes in your torrc config list, and you should be good to go. I’m running on d41d8cd98f00b2 at the moment, streaming perfectly again.

tq for it!!
Nice shit dude.
Thx a lot!!!!
Even so, the connection in Malaysia is still sucks to do anything.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
i’ve worked my butt off, trying desperately to be able to get Pandora to work again
I tried tons of online proxys - nothing!
This worked!
YESSSS!!!!
This works in Opera 9.50?
Finally a solution that works!
Hey - im in Brasil, and went through the setup, everything seems to be working just fine, says i have an opened citcuit, but still when i go to Pandora, it says “You seem to be in Brasil, sorry.” etc.
I’m not sure what to do next.
Thanks!
Sorry, reposting to get response in email…
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
THANKS SO MUCH!
PS: Im from Portugal
MWAH!
That’s a big kiss to you all! I got tired of listening to 2nd-rate Pandora-wannabes and now I can have the real thing again!
You’ve restored one of the great joys of life!
