Yes, it is correct.

Hi, I recently downloaded

Hi, I recently downloaded Tor and attempted my first update last week. But I do not know if I did it correctly. If I have done it correctly, why does Tor keep indicating that an update is available when I open it? Thank you.

I don't know. Maybe you

I don't know. Maybe you didn't do the update correctly?

YESTERDAY'S (EMERGENCY)

YESTERDAY'S (EMERGENCY) UPDATE NOT STABLE
17.0.8 bundle installed August 13 seems to have problem with memory usage under Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 (all updates). Previous version was fine

Task manager shows an increasing memory allocation until reaching around 750MB at which point the browser crashes and windows closes it. This isn't happening with Firefox ESR. My TB install has no plugins or addins other than those supplied with it.

Even with numerous tabs, ordinary FF doesn't use a fraction of this memory or CPU resources.

i got this weird tor2web

i got this weird tor2web header that goes like this when going onto an onion website?

onion.to does not host this content; we are simply a conduit connecting Internet users to content hosted inside the Tor network.
onion.to does not provide any anonymity. You are strongly advised to download the Tor Browser Bundle and access this content over Tor.

Please send us your feedback and see our legal information.
This page is accessible also on the following random mirror: tor2web.blutmagie.de
hide Tor2web header

tried downloading the new version, updated on the 12th anyway, but yeah should i be worried or is this ok?

If you're using onion.to,

If you're using onion.to, you are not using Tor to reach a Tor hidden service. You're using a normal website on the normal Internet and asking it to reach the Tor hidden service for you.

Who is behind onion.to ?

Tyvm for all u do

latest version indicates all

latest version indicates all nodes have only been up a matter of hours? seems fishy?

I agree. I wonder what

I agree. I wonder what "latest version" is for you? And where you got it? And whether you checked the signature?

FYI, about update notice on

FYI, about update notice on check.torproject.org.

TBB has never shown the "There is a security update available for the Tor Browser Bundle." on first view. Only after closing then reopening TBB, or closing FF and stopping then starting tor, is the message shown.

FYI2 Closing FF in linux does not stop and close TBB as in windows. If this is by design that is fine.

Right -- TBB 2.0 only checks

Right -- TBB 2.0 only checks whether you need to upgrade at startup. TBB 3.0 does it periodically even while you're running.

And yes, TBB 2.0 does different things on Linux vs Windows when you close Tor Browser. That's a bug, but we have no developers for fixing it. Let's focus on TBB 3.0! :)

HI, can someone please

HI,
can someone please explain whether this version is safe from IGMP and ICMP attacks? That's the next big problem.

We can only answer if you

We can only answer if you explain clearly what the attacks are.

(I disagree that they're the next big problem.)

Hi, I havent been able to

Hi,
I havent been able to update Tor for a while, since I have a Mac OSX 10.5 and cannot update to the latest Firefox for a lack of system requirements. Is there any other way I can install an updated version of Tor?

Important Fact: I have ZERO programming skills. :/

You are using an obsolete unsupported OS. And I don't just mean unsupported by Tor, I mean unsupported by anybody. It's full of security vulnerabilities that aren't fixed. You should get a better OS -- maybe that's a newer OS X, but Linux would be a fine choice too.

"but Linux would be a fine

"but Linux would be a fine choice too."

That's *GNU*/Linux (unless you meant to include Android)

me digam uma coisa, quando você coloca um endereço de web nomal no browser ele acessa como o internet explorer, minha pergunta é a seguinte, se eu entrer em um proxy anonimo online estando usando o tor fica ainda mais anonymo, tipo, eu ja estou anonimo e ele ainda mascara uma ultima vez o ip correto?

Sim! Se voce estiver no

Sim! Se voce estiver no gnu/linux, dá pra usar o proxychains para colocar outros proxys em corrente. Quando maior o número de intermediários randomizando a sua conexão final melhor. O defaut do Tor é fazer isso por 3 nós, mas você também pode configurá-lo para utilizar mais nós dentro da rede antes de sair.

Usar proxys tradicionais encadeados te garante que mesmo se o Tor for comprometido, alguém querendo te identificar precisaria ainda comprometer outra rede. Não é tarefa fácil. Mais simples é fazer engenharia social e esperar que você mesmo se entregue.

I recently read that tor was compromised by the FBI, so is it still safe to use ? And whats up with tor mail ? I haven't been able to log on in nearly a month.

Hello there! I possibly will have sworn I've been to this blog before excluding following browsing through some of the post I realized it's new to me. Anyhow, I'm certainly in high spirits I originate it and I'll live bookmarking and checking back frequently! look my website: #http://www.battlestrats.com/testforum/topic/12021-john-lewis-mens-barbo…

I installed tor according to

I installed tor according to the instructions for Ubuntu raring (13.04), which seemed to be successful; then downloaded and extracted the bundle as shown, with the only difference that I don't succeed to run the start-tor-browser file as executable. Any hints?
When trying to use the terminal to run it I get the error 'no such file' or similar.
