It used to work fine like 4months ago.(I don't connect often but occasionally, over past 2yrs). I prefer to connect manually entering bridge. (And yes i accurately entered them)

But this time when i tried to connect, it didn't work like it gets stuck at 53%. And I tried it using 5-6 bridges but it didn't work. And my timezone was also accurate.

Also I tether internet from phone using USB (It can't detect my internet hardware, I'm using intel chip mac).

I know reddit likes to shadowban accts logged in over tor now, but until recently I could browse without logged in and that worked over TOR. I did it a lot to avoid commercial mass surveillance (CMS) and general data collection.

Last few months, tho, I see blank pages a ton. And even looking at pg source in tor it is empty, no HTML. But sometimes it'll work if you refresh the page over and over. You don't need a new tor circuit just refresh a lot and it'll work, but it's a pain since it takes like 10-20 tries.

What is the point of that? Is it on purpose from reddit? And if they're trying to stop even views without logging in or posting, why would they make it work one time in 10 or 20 when you refresh the page? Why wouldn't they break it completely?

Anybody kno what's up?

If I use Tor and VPN over iPhone, isn’t it that my whole internet connection with the iPhone runs over the vpn? So Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram. That makes the surfing unsave or do I understand something wrong?

I saw that when I activated OrNET Browser and VPN, even my normal internet connection (safari/Google) was with different located IP.

So then everything (whatsapp,Facebook) runs over this IP and then I am not secure anymore, or am I wrong?

Can I use OrNET Browser safe on my iPhone without getting tracked?

I accidentally downloaded and opened a file online (117 B html) that grabbed my IP address and wants bitcoin or else they will leak my info. I was not doing anything particularly illegal, but should I be worried that someone now has access to my phone?

I'm kind of panicking right now but I'm not too sure what I should do.

The file size did not change as I opened it, but idk what my best plan of action is.

Any advice? (besides calling me stupid - ik)

When I download tor the original folder size is 313 MB I think. Maybe it's 303. A little while later I checked the file and it is somewhere around 350 or 360. The number of folders and files also seems to have increased substantially. Is this somewhat normal?

I'm running an obfs4 relay and my home internet connection is a Bell Fiber 500 Up & Down connection. Yet my advertised bandwidth is 58.75 KiB/s. It's directly connected to the Home Hub 4K modem. Is there anything I can do to boost the bandwidth?

Is there a difference between running the Tor browser on a computer versus running Tor network client on a router?

I suppose that the browsers such as Firefox or Chrome leave fingerprints, and can learn the public IP (through open tabs, cache or discovery) and leak it.

Hey,

Just a question for people in the UK running guard/middle nodes using virgin media (condolences), have you ever received any trouble from them? I would call them and ask, but if you have them then you already understand why i want to avoid this.

Thanks :)

I started the Tor browser and kept using Firefox while Tor was loading in the background. After a while I was going go switch to Tor window and it wasn't there. I thought maybe something went wrong so I clicked to start Tor again and it's telling me there is nothing behind the link. I check the folder and it looks like a lot of stuff is missing. Some profile files are still there, so maybe I can restore the bookmarks, but the binary is gone.

What happened? (using Windows 10)

I am trying to transfer my Firefox bookmarks across to TOR on Linux and am struggling. I exported my Firefox bookmarks in an HTML file and when I go to import in TOR, the HTML file is not showing in the directory that I put it in within TOR's import bookmarks window. So I tried dragging and dropping the file into the window, and it gives me a permission denied error. I also made sure "show hidden files" and "all files" were selected in the window. Any insight would be appreciated!

Hello.

I'm trying to connect to some webtunnel bridges, and i got a failed to load the transporter.

Both Win and Linux, compiled last versione via "go".

[notice] Bootstrapped 0% (starting): Starting

[notice] Starting with guard context "bridges"

[notice] Delaying directory fetches: No running bridges

[warn] Managed proxy at '/MYPATH/webtunnel' failed the configuration protocol and will be destroyed.

I tried public webtunnels and my own (server started 100% with its fingerprint).

Same problems to any webtunnels.

Where's the problem?

Thanks.

Hey all,

Is there anyone have a way to bypass the error message we get if we enter into some sites with the TOR on.

(I am talking about the Orbot Mobile App TOR IP's which specific websites blocks from entering - so pl answer for that) Do not have much settings in it to adjust.)

Hello, I would like to know if anyone knows a step-by-step tutorial or can explain to me how to be untraceable from a computer, I would like to connect to the Internet from this computer to talk to people on unencrypted messaging. I have already inquired that to be anonymous I could launch systems by USB key so no more trace after its use but in my case it is a question of making the computer totally untraceable especially in relation to the IP of my computer (a laptop that I am going to buy), are there well-established ways (proxies etc.) to prevent people from being able to trace my IP address, what will also be the components that I must disassemble (or not) to prevent people from tracking my computer's fingerprint? I hope that someone competent can help me

I have a solid 50%-60% of it down but Im worried I’m missing some steps and want to make sure I do everything perfectly. Any dark web TOR wizards please help me so we can talk about this so I don’t just end up doing it and mess it up and ruin everything.

Why when I copy a link on the Tor browser app, the result is DuckDuckGo saying “Onion/Hidden service You are trying to reach an onion/hidden service. To access **** via web you will have to use the Tor Browser.

But I am using the Tor browser, why is this happening?

I am searching for a way to get my hidden service via mirror/clone or proxy for data.

Because it’s a WordPress site. I thought about making a clearnet Wordpress and get this connected to the hidden service database. The database would be on a separate server ? (Of course also tor/onion)

If you have better and safer solutions than Wordpress please tell me too.

So if somebody post,like or buy in clearnet it’s safely enough connected tor the hiddenservice databaseserver.
