We all love tor and we appreciate your work, i also made a donation .
Sincerely i'm hoping for a NEW tor developement, with new smart solutions to override injections, MITM and fake exit nodes trouble.

At present would love a Simple tool developed for windoz noobs:
- to Check for digital signature of tor releases with just some clicks
- to Test for correct installation or flaws in the system
(how much is safe to run tor if i have ISP or 8.8.4.4 DNS settings?)

*into the application
- User manager for exit nodes selection, to manage exclusions and rotation settings
- A list of checked and recognized Bad Exit Nodes include to be managed from into tor browser.

Anyway thanks for your work.!

I don't know exactly when it all started, but for the last 3-4 weeks I noticed TOR network tries to tie down users connection to two or just one (!) country.
Example: entry node - middle node - exit node
Country A - A - B
or A - A - A

Imagine, NSA - or the like - runs middle node and exit node in the US... and you are fucked!

TB Version 7.5.3 or 8.0a5 , whatever browser you use - be careful, it's much easier for the "agencies" now to
get you !! IMHO ...

For those whose Guard Node protection is inoperative due to Tor self-update not working, how do you suggest working with the State file?

Replacing it with an old one creates a new filesystem timestamp on it
AND also a Tor-created timestamp comment (#) inside the text of the file itself?
"# Tor state file last generated on [redacted] local time
# Other times below are in UTC
# You *do not* need to edit this file."

Does this work counter to Tor's anonymized universal "1999" timestamp strategy?

What recommend?

Thank you.

What do you mean with "whose Guard Node protection is inoperative due to Tor self-update not working"? First, what error do you get when updating Tor Browser? Second, how is the guard node protection related to the failing update?

TBB 7.5.2 worked very very good, but 7.5.3 - all the time some cpu consumption, slow downs, even hangs. 7.5.3 is definitely worse than 7.5.2.
(Windows, 32bit)

Same on my System (Linux Mint 17.3 64 Bit). Browser hangs after start. CPU (Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU P8600 @ 2.40GHz × 2) goes up to 100%!
Browser is frozen for 20-30 seconds. After this time the CPU consumtion came down to normal value (< 10%).

I'm new to all this, so I'm sorry for asking again a question that has been asked before, but looking back though the blog via the Search function, I have not found a definitive answer:
Can you play Youtube videos over Tor?
On the Security Settings tab it says 'Audio and Video (HTML5 media) are click to play' but How?

Full explanation please for a novice.

Thank you.

I bought a flash drive with Tails preinstalled, from a reputable ( supposedly ) online company. Is there a test I can run to see if the Tails/ Tor system was altered from the official Tails/ Tor version?

whath i can do please somebody help me

That's expected as Tor Browser is using the Private Browsing Mode by default which makes sure you get a new session every time you start the browser, ideally without traces left from previous browsing sessions.

I hate asking questions that are seemingly unrelated to the blog post at hand, but everyone does it anyway so... What is the ETA on getting post-quantum crypto (the NewHope hybrid exchange) rolled out? What is left to do to get it working?

At last an answer. Thank you. I already have the 'higher Security Settings' set at 'safest'. With Adblock Plus I do not get ads, or at least few. Without Adblock Plus I get lots of ads. So the only way to avoid ads is a browser plugin. Is this correct? Thank you.

I got this log with tor 0.3.2.10 (Linux, 64):

  1. 01:32:00.000 [warn] connection_edge_send_command failed. Skipping.<br />
  2. 01:32:00.000 [warn] connection_edge_send_command failed. Skipping.

Google tells me nothing. It may be related to HS, but I cannot sure it. Is this warn message suspicious?

I am relatively new to Tor and completely new (First day) to Ubuntu.

When I go to the Tor website, page:

“https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en

I see a lot of information, hardly any of it I understand, beginning with:
Option one: Tor on Debian Stretch - stable, Debian Buster - testing, or Debian Sid - unstable

If you're using Debian, just run
apt install tor
as root.”

However, on the Downloads page the first thing I see is “Tor Browser for Linux (64-Bit)” which is what I need.

Do I have to (try to) follow all of the instructions on the first mentioned page or can I just download the Linux Tor 7.5.3 package from the Downloads page?

If I have to do everything it says on the first mentioned page: I don’t even know how to “run
apt install tor
as root.”

I may as well go back to Windows – which is something I DONTt want to do.

Please help.

Thanks

Why do you love a service owned by the US government, tor owned and operated by US government for the US government.
