New Tor Browser Bundles

The Tor Browser Bundles have been updated with a bunch of bug fixes.

Important note to Windows users: in the last release we enabled automatic port selection for Tor and this had very unexpected side effects on many Windows machines. It turns out that there are a number of consumer firewalls that don't like things connecting on high ports, which was the default. We're looking into smarter ways to handle this failure mode, but until we find one, we have reverted the behavior to using the previous static port. We're very sorry for the huge inconvenience this caused and hope you will find these bundles more bug-free! As ever, if you don't, please let us know.

There is a problem in iran

There is a problem in iran again. At the moment(2011/9/12 7:00pm local time in tehran) neither torbrowser not vidalia bundle are able to connect to tor network.I believe tor is blocked by the government again.

Yes, Iran blocked Tor by SSL

Yes, Iran blocked Tor by SSL protocol fingerprint earlier today.

We have a fix and we're putting out a new Tor version tonight. The fix is for relays and bridges, so once enough of them upgrade, the client version that you have will start working again.

Thanks for your patience! While you're waiting, Tor still works fine from inside Iran if you configure it (in the Vidalia network settings window) to use a socks or https proxy:

Thank you for your advises,

Thank you for your advises, but the thing I don't know is " How can I find HTTPS, SOCKS4, or SOCKS5 proxies? " (Open Proxies).

I was wondering when will

I was wondering when will tor be avaliuble for "Internet Explorer" because there's a hacker that visit's my computer off and on and i'm getting fustrated, I tried many different firewalls but he tends to get around those, do you have a solution.

I am the person from the above post ......I fixed my issue with the BSOD. It was KIS 2012 (Kaspersky Internet Security 2012). I uninstalled KIS 2012 and now TBB works just fine, no issues! I suppose it has something to do with the security suite's firewall config.....(port issues?)....
I'm running Microfoft Security Essentials now, not a single hitch.

I'm getting bluescreen to. Using Win7 x64 and Kaspersky AV 6.x .

-> Lauch TOR Browser and BOD...

But this KAV shit is expensive, uninstalling can't be the solution!

It requires a bit of

It requires a bit of fiddling but there is a work-around solution that seems to be okay until either the Kaspersky and/or TOR developers sort out the bug(s).

1. Pause KIS 2012 then start TOR
2. Open TOR Network Map
3. Once you get Connection and Status starting to fill with information eg. 'Path Empty' and 'New' resume KIS

Have not had a BSOD so far using the above method.

Early indications are that Kaspersky has found and fixed their bug. So I hope an upcoming Kaspersky update will resolve these issues.

Hi there I found something

Hi there
I found something made me suspicious.
In recent days tor is attacked by iranian rejim and block by them as one of the gateways to world.
Today I checked tor successfully using bridges offering by Vidalia (Find Bridges Now button).
It offered me 3 IPs one of them belongs to Iran's Information Technology Company (ITC).
Here are the IPs offered by vidalia:(212.21.88.249 - 217.218.238.72(which is belong to ITC and 72.196.112.57)
Base on Iranian rejim's nature, could be a kind of Man in the Middle Bridge of something?

Hey man , I'm from Iran , I

Hey man , I'm from Iran , I use Tor Browser Bundle (2.2.32-4) but when I visit this website => http://ip-check.info/?lang=en

to check my IP , I see these messages :

"You are using Tor, but your browser profile differs from the recommended"

"Recommendation: Use the preconfigured, free and open source Torbrowser default profile in its current version in order to get the maximum browser privacy"

I didn't have this problem with previous versions of Tor browser bundles ( I don't mean Aurora versions , the previous versions of Aurora had this issue too ) but I cannot use the previous versions since monday , I have a question , Isn't Aurora versions of Tor browser bundles pre-configuered and WHY?!

It seems FireFox Aurora browser is not as safe as of other FireFox browsers

Dear Sir,

Using Tor Borwser Bunde for MacOS. The tab for starting a 'new identity' cannot be initiated in Vidalia, is this specific to MAC, as it seemed to work well enough in Windows 7 environment?

Thanks.

Looks like a lot of

Looks like a lot of configuration is done on firefox within the Tor Browser Bundle.
I use only Vidalia and TorButton, I want to know if there is some page that shows all the configurations that this bundles does in Firefox (like configuring firefox to use pipeline) so that I can configure my firefox to be well protected like the one included in the Bundle.

Thanks

Keep an eye on

Keep an eye on https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/3812

As for what the old Torbutton does, see https://www.torproject.org/torbutton/en/design/

And finally, for why you will eventually want to switch to Tor Browser Bundle, see https://blog.torproject.org/blog/toggle-or-not-toggle-end-torbutton

Providing a list of changes

Providing a list of changes to the Firefox configuration settings with each TBB would be helpful, either as a text file or as a PDF. The TBB does currently have README files, but they are not detailed enough regarding Firefox. Things like what setting has been changed (or created), what the default is, what the new setting is, and the purpose and effect of the change would be helpful.

wheres internet explorer

wheres internet explorer thats capable of running on windows7 64bit, my friend recommended me to this site because i had a hacker issue so i'm here, but you do not have an internet explorer download!

We have no plans to support

We have no plans to support Internet Explorer. It's closed source (which is sufficient reason by itself), but on top of that its plugin model is unusable and its privacy support is inadequate. Every Tor user should stay away from IE.

Ok, I've kind of looked over

Ok, I've kind of looked over this entire thread. But still can't find out why ever since I got the new Tor bundle with "Aurora" I can't access any sites except for normal ones like google/yahoo/weather.com etc. So no more deep web. I have been using tor for a while and ever since this aurora thing came along i can't do a thing with it. What am i doing wrong? Or is there a problem with this new tor bundle that is being worked out? is it still safe to use an older version of Tor bundle? If so where is the archived link for it? Thanks

I noticed many Relays are

I noticed many Relays are still using older versions of Tor. I encourage all the Relays to upgrade their software to the latest Tor, especially if they are an Exit Relay. The new software is noticeably faster.

Bundle was running fine for many months before this. Down three days now (Sep 30)

I tried reverting older package as someone suggested but it appears the bug is now in the network; as the problem persists.

I have the same problem, often Vidalia starts up fine and I can connect to Tor but Aurora does not open, and I can't figure out how to get it to open...

Does Aurora "call home"

Does Aurora "call home" automatically every 5 to 6 weeks as stated below?

"According to the Mozilla blog, Aurora will be synchronised with the Nightly Build server every 5-6 weeks, which means it’s significantly less stable at the start of this period than at the end when its changes migrate into the Beta channel"

What else, if anything, is being sent? How can this be blocked? Can the about:config be modified?

I load Vidalia ( Version : 2.2.33 working on Mac OS X V. 10.6.8 ) Just fine ( onion turning green ) Status: Connected to Tor network.

and what i get is : ( Sorry. You are not using Tor ) in RED, and my IP address is : 38.229.70.31

of course i go and check my IP address through other website and it keeps giving me different IP address !? >>> Meaning that Tor is doing its job !?

Even when i load Yahoo.com it opens in Dutch, or German, so am assuming that it is working .... BUT THEN WHY DO I KEEP GETTING THAT MSG ON THE Tor CHECK PAGE !?

We temporarily tried out a new feature that turned out to be a bad idea. Should be fixed now (and was harmless throughout, other than confusing users). See also http://archives.seul.org/tor/talk/Oct-2011/msg00229.html
