Would making your laptop run 24/7 and whenever you are not using It, setting it up to refresh random page every 5 second prevent someone, lets say Police From Connecting you with any hypoterical bad behaviour? Bcs you cold say that your laptop is connectjng to tor all the time, so the correlarion would be impossible? Am i smart here or no?

I want to use Tor to browse regular sites during work. Have a lot of downtime but want to fly under the radar as much as possible. Can my work IT see my Internet traffic using Tor if I connect to their wifi?

Edit: I should clarify, I have Tor on my personal laptop. I wouldn't use my work computer. I would run Tor on my personal laptop, but connected to work wifi. Also, I work for a place where thousands of people log onto our network. I do need my work credentials to log onto the WiFi however. Also also, is it much different from using a VPN to browse clear net? Like, as far as I know, my place of work has never mentioned that I am not allowed to use my personal laptop nor that I can't have Tor. Honestly, they don't care that I'm on my laptop nor even what I'm doing on it, but on the off chance that they look, I'm wondering if they can see my traffic lol

Tha la for getting me all nervous though, fellas lol

I know that they do, but how hard is it for the ISP to determine that you are in fact connecting to a Tor bridge? If it's not that hard, what can I do to prevent it?

Hi guys,

The website I'm trying to visit doesn't load correctly. Other websites (like thepiratebay) do load correctly.

I'm not really sure what causes this, might be something with the way they wrote the script?

Is there any way I can get the site to load correctly? Like this:

Hello, does anybody know what is the problem when this line shows up in the logs:

[WARN] Managed proxy "/usr/bin/obfs4proxy" process terminated with status code 134

I can not find anything online.

THANKS A LOT.

Hi guys,

What to do about the websites that gives me a timeout error on Tor Browser?

I'm having trouble accessing some websites on Tor, that keeps giving me a timeout error. Does anyone have tips or solutions for getting around this issue?

I've been using tails but am interested in some ways to beef up my security

Today I upgraded to the latest version of Tor Browser. My internet security package classified it as malware because of behavioural analysis.

Hello, I havent been on this sub for long so excuse my ignorance. Just wanted to know if using tor was practicle on my laptop if i use it for work and stuff like that. Can you access mainstream websites like youtube and gmail? Or should i use chrome for work and Tor for privacy.

Hi guys, I'm writing this post because I haven't found any answers on the doc so I'm trying to get some solutions on this forum.

When I launch Tor, the application launches, the window opens and then quits instantly after a few seconds. This is a recent problem as I've always used Tor and it worked fine. For your information:

• MacOS Sonoma 14.5

• tor-browser-macos-13.0.16

Thanks for your help.

Is it secure to use clearnet sites like privnote or any other site in tor browser? I mean more secure than if i would use it in a normal browser with a vpn or would i need something like a onion messenger site? Not asking for links. Im thankful for every information about the reasons on why and why not.

I’m referencing the issue that was unsolved here:

It was a persistent issue (and still is afaia) for about a week. Any exit node, even with a bridge, was blocked.

Anyone have insight as to why the default engine with Tor would block Tor traffic?

Hi

I have a question I would like to use Brave browser in Tor private window, but not for deep or dark web usage but just for enhanced privacy. Could I replace my current vpn and just use this way ? sorry if it is a dumb question but if you do not ask, you do not get a answer 😊

I think in order to do that a hosting provider either has to specifically allow hosting a hidden service or they have to allow installing and managing software on their server so that you can install tor and edit torrc file.

Now does anyone know any hosting providers that allow that? I need to host a really large service with terabytes of storage.

I know the first thing yall going to say is the OS itself is not not private and gathers stuff on you.

HOWEVER ive installed LineageOS which is a private degoogled android ROM. And I do trust this version of it so the OS i think is safe now.

Ofc no playstore or any other nonsense on my tablet so installed Tor with its official APK.

And now I wonder what the limitations of it in terms of privacy and anonymity are going to be.

Threat level is moderate. Mostly using clearnet sites without javascript. And doing nothing you could go to jail for and no download really. Sometimes on the dark web for some news as well.

Ok the main thing I would like to know and I feel is important is what is being saved/cached on the device itself. Does the android version of Tor browser leave any traces on the device behind maybe in a deep cache folder somewhere or is still all that stuff deleted at the moment i close the app? (Also asking in case i sell it to someone)

Or would you say that if you trust its OS LineageOS in this case, its as secure as a desktop pc?

And are there any other down sides or flaws the app has on android?

I am currently trying to host a Tor webpage on a Contabo VPS in a docker container. However, I am unable to establish connections to relays with the message:

Problem bootstrapping. Stuck at 5% (conn): Connecting to a relay. (Connection timed out; TIMEOUT; count 10; recommendation warn; host 1A25C6358DB91342AA51720A5038B72742732498 at 128.31.0.39:9201)

I have set the system time correctly. Could it be that I need to expose some specific ports in my container? I have tried requesting some obfs4 bridges but they seem to all timeout with general SOCKS server failure as well.

I am new to Tor and just installed it.

Going into setup I realized that several options aren"t selectable, i.e. they are protected/blocked or whatever.

e.g. in search I cannot alter search suggestions tickboxes. And idea?

I google for an hour and read all I could. Doesn't seem to be a common issue so any help is appreciated.

just a standalone version that we can use?

So I have a little Linux system at home which I use to play around a bit. Since I don’t use it regularly it is only connected to the powergrid and the Ethernet. I use it over ssh or xrdp depending on what I need.

Recently I thought of trying out TOR. After setting everything up my xrdp session instantly dies when opening TOR.

I only access the Maschine locally over say 192.168.178.42 and not over the internet and stuff.

But still the tunnel from TOR seems to kick me out everytime.

Any idea on how to prevent that?

Edit: after reinstalling xrdp and rebooting everything it worked. Guess I killed one of the services somehow ¯_(ツ)_/¯

So, I was browsing Tor for the first time in years and I'm pretty sure I clicked on a site compromised(Drugs) as it was different, there I clicked on a link even if it looked strange and the next image I see is one telling me that I'm screwed and the "feds" will get me or something like that. Could it be true? I don't think the site would be illegal in my country anyway.

I used Onion on the highest level of security and a VPN.
