Seems the newsletter is coming at the middle/end of the month now.

State of the onion: You're invited.

State of the onion is "a compilation of updates from the Tor Project's different teams discussing highlights of their work during the year and what [they] are excited about in the upcoming year" as Al Smith writes in the blog post.
Last year's SOTO was the first fully virtual one, and following the great success this years SOTO will be held fully online too, from 17:00 to 19:00 UTC on November the 17th. It will be streamed on YouTube, [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/T

Edit 3: This should be fixed in TB 11.0.1

Not all Tor Browser installs seem to be affected, you can test if yours is by searching for anything on DuckDuckGo with safest.

For those affected: make sure you disable and enable NoScript in about:addons, which you can get to by going to the hamburger menu > Add-ons and themes (ctrl+shift+a). This must be done every time you start Tor Browser. You might also need to change security level from Safest to any other and back again to get NoScript to understand it should block stuff.

Edit: we have tested this, currently it seems only Windows (10) is affected, if you are not on Windows and are affected please tell me.

You might want to talk with someone that knows Tor, that someone could be me.

I mean, the point of tor is to come from somewhere else, but what happens when I'm that somewhere else and someone's breaking the law? Do I get in trouble?

I've yet to hear of anyone get in trouble for running an exit node. If there are any, I'm sure they have gotten out of anything by just going "I run an exit node, I didn't do it, I cannot tell you who did it" (maybe in a more legal tone/way)

Then how am I incorrect? I'm honestly asking, as I enjoy learning new things.

You are not incorrect.

How does tor work if it's not using its users as end nodes?

By having people set up nodes. Some of th

October 15th, 2021
We will release new Tor client stable versions for all supported series that will disable v2

 

Edit: So uh.. Yea, no release on the 15th! But they are coming.

 

I have a blog post ^onion that shows some stats about HSDirs and their Tor version, related to v2 deprecation of course. As I say in the blog post: "If all 6 of a v2 onion service's HSDirs don't understand v2, it will be im

Hello r/Tor! I'm going to be trying out something new here.

Help with the Documentation!

Between August 30 and September 3, the Tor Project will host the third edition of their user documentation hackathon

You should help out! Seriously.

Be a snowflake!

Install the Snowflake extension (for Firefox or Chrome) and help users in censored locations access Tor and an open web. There is no need to worry about which websites people are accessing through your proxy. Their visible br

You hopefully already know this, but if you don't: v2 onions (the short ones, like facebookcorewwwi.onion) will be deprecated following the deprecation timeline in tor 0.4.6.x, which Tor Browser 10.5 will be using.

If you are a site administrator, UPDATE!

Current alpha versions of Tor Browser also cannot access v2 onions, if you are experiencing any problems accessing them, check if you are using an alpha version.

Edit: The launch date has been moved to the 29 of June. You can always check the current date here

No need to write a post about it.

Reported 19 hours ago. This issue will happen to anyone once their NoScript updates.

It seems that newer version(s) of NoScript will rewrite a page (for whatever reason), removing the <noscript> tag. However FF ESR does not act on any redirect meta tags in <head> that NoScript moved from the <noscript>, newer versions of FF (Stable and Nightly) do, resulting in sites such as DDG not redirecting to their HTML version. Why FF ESR doesn't I do not know.
