by nah | November 11, 2020

Communities that depend on forests for their livelihood and environmentalists who fight to protect forests from exploitation live with digital technology in different ways from residents of cities.

Digital Rights are Human Rights

by ggus | December 10, 2019

In the recent years, the international debate around human rights started to include and analyze our relations and interactions with technology, including how we are able or not able to exercise our human rights when we're on the internet. We believe human rights apply to all spaces we occupy, offline and online.

New Alpha Release: Tor 0.4.6.2-alpha

by nickm | April 15, 2021

There's a new alpha release available for download. If you build Tor from source, you can download the source code for 0.4.6.2-alpha from the download page on the website. Packages should be available over the coming weeks, with a new alpha Tor Browser release likely some time next week.

Remember, this is an alpha release: you should only run this if you'd like to find and report more bugs than usual.

Tor 0.4.6.2-alpha is the second alpha in its series. It fixes several small bugs in previous releases, and solves other issues that had enabled denial-of-service attacks and affected integration with other tools.

Changes in version 0.4.6.2-alpha - 2021-04-15

  • Minor features (client):
    • Clients now check whether their streams are attempting to re-enter the Tor network (i.e. to send Tor traffic over Tor), and close them preemptively if they think exit relays will refuse them for this reason. See ticket 2667 for details. Closes ticket 40271.
  • Minor features (command line):
    • Add long format name "--torrc-file" equivalent to the existing command-line option "-f". Closes ticket 40324. Patch by Daniel Pinto.
