Tor Browser is a version of firefox browser you can install on any computer which uses Linux, Windows, or Mac OS.
Assuming you are considering installing and using Tor Browser, see this page to help you decide:
https://sedvblmbog.tudasnich.de/about/overview
Here is where you go to fetch Tor Browser tarball with your existing browser:
https://sedvblmbog.tudasnich.de/download/download-easy.html.en
(Make sure to fetch the detached signature also and to use GPG or PGP to verify the tarball before you install it. GPG is a separate FOSS software you already have if you use Linux, but you should be able to easily obtain it if you use OS or Windows.)
Here is a good page to read before you do a great deal of web surfing with Tor Browser:
https://sedvblmbog.tudasnich.de/download/download-easy.html.en#warning
If you decide you need more security/anonymity, you can consider using Tails.
Tails is a complete operating system you can boot on (almost) any 64-bit computer from a DVD or USB. It includes Tor Browser and also text messengers with extra security/anonymity properties. It is also ideal for working "offline" on preparing documents, for example if you are a whistle-blower or political dissident. See:
https://tails.boum.org/about/index.en.html
Here is what Tails says about surfing the web:
https://tails.boum.org/doc/anonymous_internet/Tor_Browser/index.en.html
Hope this helps give you the core of what you need to know about whether you should use Tor Browser or Tails, and if so how to get them and use them wisely.

Understand.
I worry that the people who need Tor most are often not able to safely donate generously, but if you can donate even a small amount that can sometimes help Tor make the case to foundations that Tor has a large user base of at risk users. Also, Tor is almost entirely volunteer operated--- in particular, Tor nodes are almost entirely operated by volunteers (and sometimes by our enemies, but that's another issue). That can be expensive, of course, but if you speak a language other than English you can possibly help Tor Project with translation.

I think it is worth noting that you or anybody can help in so many other ways than donating money by donating your time to projects like ours. That in turn can be done in many ways as well depending on skill set, experiences, and interest: it could be outreach helping to spread the word, it could be helping with blog comments on this very blog, it could be coding, it could be patch review, it could be...

Question: was Tor created as a Global Law Enforcement effort to combat cyber-crime. If so, it's the most sophisticated (and simple), bait and switch tactic ever dropped on the unsuspecting world of fools.

> Still no proper SHA checksum files like all other software downloads. Always the bullshit excuse of making people jump through hoops and expose their ip to validate downloads.
Assuming you are talking about Tor Browser, you are correct that verifying the tarball before you unpack it is very important. But you don't do that with SHA, you use GPG (or PGP) to verify the tarball using the detached signature. It's explained on the download page at sedvblmbog.tudasnich.de.
If the problem is that you are having trouble obtaining GPG, this is FOSS software (as are Tor product) but from a different group. GPG is included in all Linux distributions however, so if you use Ubuntu or Debian (or know someone who does) you should be able to verify the tarball.
Cryptographic verification with GPG is much safer than "verifying" with SHA256 or SHA-512, so you should really try to obtain GPG.
> Not a single check site where CIA/NSA can inject their own version using MITM attack during download and verification.
Irony: NSA designed SHA-256, SHA-512, but GPG is based on PGP (the tool which NSA tried to make illegal back in the 1990s) and comes from an independent FOSS developer in Germany. Just one more reason why you should really try to obtain and use GPG.
I am a long-time Tor user, not a dev, so I hope Tor employee will correct me if I get anything wrong.

Extraordinary effort is supremely appreciated. I'm 72 and not a newbie online; fortunately eh?

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…
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 ...
THANKS TOR

For those whose Guard Node…
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?

I am relatively new to Tor and completely new (First day) to Ubuntu.
When I go to the Tor website, page:
“https://sedvblmbog.tudasnich.de/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.

The tor circuit always shows the same initial address when not using a tor bridge. When a bridge is used like obfs4 I see a circuit as follows.

˚Germany (173.212.228.203)
˚France (163.172.132.199)
˚Internet
The value fro Bridge never changes in this case "Bridge: OBSf4 (Netherlands)" even though I perform "new tor circuit for this site" or "new identity" even closing the app and reopening doesn't change the value. I am connected to a Japan network when testing.

I have been using Tor for a couple of months. A couple of weeks ago I started going to some .onion sites.
Up until yesterday, when I went to an .onion site and checked the route my traffic was taking under the green onion and ‘Tor circuit for this site’, I saw the usual 3 nodes (guard, middle and exit) followed by three unnamed nodes to the .onion site (relay/relay/relay).
Yesterday when visiting a couple of .onion sites the guard, middle and exit nodes were mentioned but there was no mention of the additional three relays to the sites.
Does that mean that, in order to reach an .onion site, the browser can by-pass the additional three relays, or was that just a problem with the ‘Tor circuit for this site’ indicator information?
Today everything is back to normal 3 named nodes and 3 unnamed relays?
Please clarify.
Thanks.
