Hello, I have sandboxed-tor-browser 0.0.6 with tor-browser-7.0a4 and when I launched it it updated to tor-browser-7.5a1 but did it also update to sandboxed-tor-browser 0.0.7?

I have been having problems with slow initial handshakes with obfs 4 bridget to none at all. I am reluctant to use obfs 3. I just installed the latest tails and it just started happening immediately after and continues.

Can the tails team help? Thank you

What the hell happened to the Tor Browser, every single pay loads two times slowers, when I lick on "New Identity" I have to wait 3-4 seconds, last time the New Identity was instant, and webpages that have scripts are slow downed like hell (try to create a new Bitcoin wallet on Blockchain.info).

Nonsense, if there's lag as hell it's a bug quite obviously and one should rather revert to the last working TBB and surf on HIGH security settings which is still better than using 7.x on MEDIUM.

Please, fix the notification about unsecure connection to onion sites. It is firefox notification for clearnet plain http sites, but for onion sites it shouln't be showed.

Have you tried installing a clean, new Tor Browse into a different location? What operating system are you on? Do you get error messages? If you are on Windows, do you have firewall/antivirus tools that could interfere with Tor Browser? If so, what happens if you uninstall them (disabling might often not be enough)?

I have also been having the same problems after loading new TB updates (to different folders) for Version 7.n.n and later versions of 6 of TB. TB fails to start with no notifications of any problems.
I have now gone back to an old version (6.5.2) which allows me "normal" access.
I run Windows 7 with Windows Firewall and BitDefender AV(Free version). Apart from installing updates for Windows and BiDefender have not (knowingly) altered my PC config.
I see this issue has been reported many times by TB users but I am yet to see any specific resolution?
I understand it is important to maintain the latest TB version so how can I assist to resolving this issue?

Can Tor Really Be Trusted? I Know It's Been Asked A Million Times. More and more government people are using it. IS it SAFE? No Malicious Code? Can Someone I trust Confirm This?

Your last question ("can someone I trust confirm this") is exactly the right question.

To get there, you need two things: (1) you need the tools in question to be open, documented, and amenable to analysis. (2) you need to know and trust enough people that one of them is good at assessing tools.

We do our best to be great at (1), and you can improve your own situation re (2), by going to your local cryptoparties, meeting more people, and generally getting more integrated with the global security and privacy community.

today when i opened tor i was asked to update, which i diligently did, since then tor will not open at all, all my settings were setup to use tor ie antivirus,proxy settings, permissions etc (nothings changed). i even tried disabling my vpn,no joy. i've tried it on the 2 platforms i have win7 and win10. i have a performance monitor running and notice it tries to start then shuts down. i also noticed its not listed in the list of programs when you go to add remove programs. i don't think i'm the only one experiencing this since downloading update. any ideas?

hi ,
as i said in my post my antivirus hasn't changed ( it worked fine before update and i have tried disabling them), the version i have installed is 1-7,0,1_en_us ?

But tor has changed. So, this new Tor Browser version is shipping a new major tor version which your antivirus tool is probably thinking to be malware and prevents it from running. Try uninstalling the antivirus software to check whether it is really the problem (disabling is often not enough).

Hi,
I used Tor browser to circumvent bypass Zscaler at my office and it worked. However now Tor doesn't even start. I tried the various options. However, nothing worked. I find that the LAN's Automatic configuration options lead to Zscaler site. Any idea to regain my internet freedom.

Now doesn't work after update.Tried reloading to different location. Still doesn't work. WILL YOU FIX IT PLEASE? It was ok before the update.

I guess you are on Windows and have some antivirus/firewall software installed? If so, then uninstall it and check whether that changes things. Often new major tor versions we ship in Tor Browser get prevented from starting by such kind of software. And, no, disabling the antivirus/firewall software might not be enough.

This has happened to me as well on a couple of the TOR updates and each time it has been Trusteer Rapport that has been blocking it starting up. Simply stopping Trusteer allowed TOR to load and run normally, but dont forget to start it again if you use another browser to do your online banking! The issue appeared to fix itself after a couple of weeks - don't know if it was an update from TOR or Trusteer that resolved it though.

1# May i ask if we can run through our own hosted nodes? instead of actively connecting to None trusted nodes? Such as hosting your vary own guard or exit node. so we can trust our exit and guard from doing correlation attacks.

Well, sticking to a chosen guard node is easy by changing the torrc. Having one that's trusted is much more complicated. :)

In particular, you need to think about the network observers between you and the guard, and you need to think about whether somebody might guess which guards you trust and then either a) attack them to get to you, or b) make assumptions about traffic they see coming from those guards to other relays.

You can read much more about guard research issues here:
https://ocewjwkdco.tudasnich.de/blog/improving-tors-anonymity-changing-guar…
But long story short, I think a lot of people want to tweak and mess with things when they'll be safer and happier just leaving them un-messed-with.

Hi! I got a question. What about:config settings stand behind the new "Security Settings" slider?

I would like to better understand the mechanics of it, not the least because I want to be sure there's nothing I should additionaly tweak in about:config settings. Does this slider only change about:config settings or does it do more than that?

First, thank you for Tor! I have a $100 money order to support this project going out in tomorrow's mail.

Since you say it is not safe to use add-ons, why don't you include some sort of native non-'referer' feature?

Why, after I delete every history that can be deleted, do I see my history come up in the URL box?

I am not happy with this last release. I used to be able to control which sites I would allow to run scripts. Now, it seems that my favorite sites scripts won't run at all, even when the slider is full open! Nothing fancy, they're just ordinary forums.

I have exactly the same problem as many, that it doesn't start. I have windows 7 64 bit. Tor use to work with my antivirus and firewall. I keep reading close them both and try again. I have done that and still no luck. I refreshed the installation of I have installed it in a different location still no luck.

I am not a Tor Browser dev, but ...

- Tor Browser fixed this issue or a similar one a long time ago. See here.

- Things like this are why it is much smarter to use Tor Browser instead of trying to patch up any other browser. Tor Browser is a lot more than a couple addons and config changes that you can make yourself.

The main thing there is

However the same issue do not exist in 53.0 beta edition.

Firefox 53 has something that 52-based Tor Browser doesn't have.

The main thing there is:

> We have a patch to prevent that kind of thing happening as we got bitten by this kind of issue in the past. So, this is not a problem for Tor Browser based on ESR52.

Since updating to TBB 7 twitter automatically reverts to it's mobile version when I visit the site. I don't actually know if it's a TOR issue or some autofeature of twitter when the bandwidth is low, but it happens always and regardless of amount of traffic.
I read android users encountered the same problem but unlike them, TOR has no feature to request desktop version. Maybe you could add something like that (not just for twitter) or figure out if TBB is causing the problem. Thank you.

It looks like twitter is sending you a meta refresh request, wrapped in a noscript tag.

That means if you have javascript disabled, then your Browser will honor the meta refresh request, and off you'll go to the mobile version of Twitter.

Okay, but the thing is, I disable JS rarely and never when visiting twitter. Anyways, what can I do to avoid my browser responding to the refresh request? Or is my browser somehow corrupted?

Hi,
Since upgrading to the TOR v. 7.5a1, I notice that the first node on my connection circuit stays the same.
Regardless of how many times I request a "New Tor Circuit for this site," my browser remains pointed to the same URL.
I'm naturally concerned about this because
a) I was able to change all three nodes previously after each request, and
b) Whoever owns that node can easily identify my browser details and identity.
I hope this issue can be resolved soon.
Best Regards

Thanks for the reply. I remain convinced about (a).

Why does the first node stay the same?

ToraTora (not verified) said:

My original question remains unanswered.
I have collected more than two dozen pages of notes consisting of hundreds of different combinations of URLs for the Tor circuit nodes.

In each combination, the entry node is different; it's always changed after each request for either "New Identity," or "New Circuit for this site," resulting in a new set of three URLs.

However, as of a few days ago, the entry node for the circuit has frozen and is no longer changing on request.

I did not find the answer to my question in the links posted by arma or yawning. In fact yawning, or someone else, deleted my earlier reply, posted more than 24 hours ago.

My confidence in TOR is rapidly eroding, while my suspicions are growing!

> In each combination, the entry node is different; it's always changed after each request for either "New Identity," or "New Circuit for this site," resulting in a new set of three URLs.

If this actually happened (which I sincerely doubt) it would have been a major bug that dramatically reduces both the security and anonymity.

> However, as of a few days ago, the entry node for the circuit has frozen and is no longer changing on request.

Good, that's how Tor's path selection is supposed to work, as has been the case for years. In fact, every single browser release for as long as I can remember, gets people like you freaking out over the Guard design.

Perhaps people like me have a good reason for "freaking out."
You write as if you are in some way superior to everyone else posting a message on this forum. I despise that attitude.
Do you represent Tor legally, or otherwise?
You should start worrying because someone hacked my PC and switched on the camera, while I was connected to a TOR circuit last week.

> Perhaps people like me have a good reason for "freaking out."

Because they don't understand that Tor uses Guards that persist for quite a while, between sessions?

If you're so sure about the previous behavior, why not prove it by downloading an old bundle (https://archive.torproject.org/tor-package-archive/torbrowser/) disabling the auto updater, and examining the circuits that get built. It's easy to prove right?

(I'm deliberately ignoring the genetic fallacies.)

>(I'm deliberately ignoring the genetic fallacies.)

I've been using TOR for several years, but this was the first time to contact the blog because my PC was hacked in real-time while connected to a TOR circuit.
Typecasting, or burying your head in the sand, albeit deliberately, doesn't change the facts that the Browser is NO longer secure!
As I said before, my confidence in TOR has eroded, while my suspicions have grown.
Your snide remarks helped tip the balance.
If you're in fact a benign civilian, and not the opposite, get off your high horse and help find out whether the browser is salvageable.

PS. I just came across the following written four years ago:

I'm running Mac OS 10.12.4. All of the Tor Browsers in the 7 series give me this message when I try to open them:

A copy of Tor Browser is already open. Only one copy of Tor Browser can be open at a time.

I cannot find any other copy of Tor Browser on my computer. I first encountered this after a routine update of Tor Browser, and many attempts at downloading it again and trashing old versions have not been successful. I would try an earlier-than-7 version, but can't find an active link to one on your site.

obfs4proxy has problems with Dr. Watson on Windows: when it crashes, it hangs dwwin.exe, and tor.exe can no longer start (exiting during start), until all dwwin.exe processes forcibly terminated.

Huh? That's basically totally irrelevant because Tor Browser likely won't build on a non-64 bit system anyway, just from lack of memory. As of Tor Browser 7.0, SSE2 is mandatory on Windows anyway, so if anything `GO386=sse2` should be the fix for this.

Irrelevant to what? To Linux builds of obfs4proxy? As of Tor Browser 7.0, SSE2 is mandatory on Windows for %#$ing google's ANGLE only (thanks to gk), so if anything `GO386=sse2` should be the great symbol of incompetence (especially, since google auto-set it for cross-compiles).

> When did this thread switch to Linux from Dr Watson and the Windows PT build descriptor?
"Also it immediately crashes with Illegal Instruction on systems without SSE2."
On systems, not only on Windows.

Such issues are good candidates to be included into Known Issues section of Tor Browser documentation (but where is it?). This could also prevent users' spam on Trac.

you guys messed up something with your latest tor browser 7.0.2 updates. now it's screaming on microdesks etc in the log... Also I have experienced browser hang right just before the updates. Don't remember the site name but browser just frizzed in place. Maybe it's because I experimented with jumbo frames in 7KB on my adapter, not rly sure.

Anyway, pls fix the problems with microdesks.

First, please post this in the blog post for the Tor Browser version that it's talking about. Otherwise nobody is going to be able to follow along. :)

And second, without any more details, I don't think anybody will be able to help you.

Can you try to reproduce it, and narrow down what it might be, and then open a ticket on https://bugs.torproject.org/ ?

Am using Tor 7.5a2 on a Mac Sierra 10.12.6, downloaded the dmg file, unpacked on the desktop and dropped into the Applications folder. There is no "torrc" file to edit in order to specify an exit node.

Any clues out there? Thank you.
