Tor

is there way to remove nsfw (nudes sexxual things etc ...) ads or components in site im using via tor browser

Hi,

I am just starting experimenting with running a relay and have a quick question.

As per the thread title. Is local traffic included in the AccountingMax figure? I assume it is, but I read in my torrc that although I can set a RelayBandwidthRate my own traffic is unthrottled. I wondered i AccountingMax was similar?

I basically want to see if I can experiment with tor, to do the stuff I want to be able to do personally, while managing my internet bill, until I get comfortable with it all. I probably have to figure out some other way of going about it, but if I could set an affordale AccountingMax but not have my traffic limited that would be easy!

Thanks

I was trying to access a site, the url looked right except it ended with .top instead of .onion. Is it possible this was a phishing link? I searched and can't find anything about ending with .top.

Can I set it directly from this window? I’m using Tor 13.5 on Windows 10.

I have tried to make an account for so long but it never works. Every time I try, it says "Something went wrong. Please try again." If anybody has a solution, I would be so grateful!

Hi guys, been using tor andriod for a year or so with no issues.

Suddenly this week im getting the proxy refused error and cant connect. I've tried using a bridge but doesnt help at all. I've tried multiple wifi connections as well as cell network but still cant get it to load anything. Ive reinstalled the app three times and still the same error.

Anything else I can try?

Recaptcha is broken and won't work

Up until approx five days ago Tor Browser 13.5.9 was working great for me. Now almost every web page I try to view will not finish loading and the page is still blank. I recently (beginning of Oct?) got a message that I would have to update my OS (Mac 10.13.6) if I wanted further updates on Tor Browser. Has that already started to negatively affect me, or, is there something else going on?

Here's an example of the problem:

When a I try to watch a Youtube vid and it tells me that I need to "log in to prove you're not a bot", as usual, I re-load it under a new Tor circuit. Unfortunately, that re-load never completes.

So i have been trying to install btcpayserver so i can develop an application however it requires a domain so im using tor's onion. When i use 127.0.0.1:8080 it shows a welcome page meaning its working however the onion isnt working before it used to say this onion doesnt exist and now it says problem loading site.

The logs for tor, nginx seem okay except the /var/log/tor/log one.

I dont know what to do i have tried everything please someone with experience help me out

Iknow it got all the dark web and shit but what age does it recommend to use the browser it self cause my vpn subscription just got canceled

I want to make my own private network inspired in Tor hidden services (.onion TLD-like) in C. But I don't really know how it does Tor to support this.

Can anyone help me how to access blocked sites on tor

soo everytime my isp changes my public ip i have to restart my tor service to get it to update to the new one

i am already thinking about writing a script to check for public ip and restart tor if changed

but is there a better way? i am running a bridge relay...

Hi, this should be straightforward for someone with the requisite knowledge, who has the time to look through the commands I have issued below, but there is a lot of information here! I have simplified this post as much as I am able to.

I have used the following two tutorials to try and set up a tor wifi router on a raspberry pi 3b+ to which I connected a 5g modem via a hat. The 5g modem appears to the pi as 'usb0'.

https://learn.adafruit.com/setting-up-a-raspberry-pi-as-a-wifi-access-point/install-software

https://learn.adafruit.com/onion-pi

The first tutorial (first block of commands) results in me having a working raspberry pi router. I have made the odd adaptation (mainly due to the fact that I am connecting to the internet through usb0, rather than eth0, and I am in the UK so am using the GB country code rather than, US. But the commands below are exactly what I input.

The second tutorial, converting the wifi router into a tor router isn't working.

I use ssh to issue the commands on the pi via eth0 which gets an ip address from my laptop as I am running isc-dhcp-server. I can ping and wget google.com from the pi's command line after the second tutorial, but I can't get to google.com from the web browser on my laptop via the wifi network that I created in the first tutorial. But wget'ing check.torproject.org returned the message indicating I am not going through tor.

After both the first and second tutorial the ip of my RPI wireless AP is in /etc/resolv.conf. IIrc I tried putting the router ip address + port 9050 into firefox's proxy settings, just in case, but couldn't connect to any webpage either way.

I am comfortable with the linux aspects of what I have posted below (but usually this kind of problem is the result of some sort of daft mistake I am making).

Primarily I am not sure about the torrc I have (it is simple, I know, I have (I have googled extensively, I promise, but I am still learning), but I am also not sure what impact using a 5g modem attached to the pi via a hat has on any of these commands.

I have been trying to get this working, and experimenting for a long time........ Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks

So

As well as the above, I also note that many of tutorials I have gone through utilise a bridge interface. I don't know what kind of effect bridging wlan0 with usb0 has, given that I need the 5g modem to get an ip address from the mobile internet provider. I think the 5g modem is not using dhcpcd or networkmanager or whatever it is to get an ip address anyway, so I assume (hope) this doesn't affect the bridge.

Having said that this pair of tutorials doesn't use a bridge anyway. I wonder whether I need one because of the 5g modem, and I don't know enough tor setup to figure out how I might have to change my torrc in order to accommodate it if I do..

After entering these commands I have a functioning raspberry pi based router:

sudo apt update
sudo apt -y upgrade
sudo apt install -y hostapd dnsmasq
sudo systemctl unmask hostapd
sudo systemctl enable hostapd
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt install -y netfilter-persistent iptables-persistent

sudo rfkill unblock wifi
sudo raspi-config nonint do_wifi_country GB
sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o usb0 -j MASQUERADE
sudo netfilter-persistent save
sudo reboot

-----

sudo apt remove modemmanager # I removed modemmanager because the developer of the hat says I need to. The 5g modem is functioning fine without any need for setup, but I am able to communicate with it using AT commands if I need to. The router worked fine at this point post removal of modemmanager. 

As I said, this results in a working router. Something in it, given that I have this 5g modem/hat or for some other reason, might explain why the following tutorial isn't working. Thanks

i have been scrolling aimlessly for almost an hour now and i want to use TOR safely. what are your tips/recommendations/guides for a first time onion user 🫡

I have a domain for my website and I've established a server through XAMPP, but everytime I run Apache and MySQL the link continues to say "Unable to connect". Any fixes?

Hey folks. I’m using Tor Browser both on Linux and Mac OS. Not a single problem on Linux but on Mac I had extremely hard times to connect to the tor network (even had to close and restart the browser several times to achieve it) I had to update Firefox, it took 7 seconds. Tor Browser: 9 minutes. No Orbot nor any download or anything

Bridges are fresh. There's no any problem when connected to wifi. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

I've been using TOR for the past week and its been pretty fine, kinda slow but I can handle it. But just today it is incredibly slow, it's taking 5-10 minutes to simply search something, and it cannot load up simple web pages (tries for 10 minutes before quitting). Its not my internet since it's working fine. I didn't modify the TOR Connection in any way, it is just suddenly doing this and I literally cannot use TOR.

My mac isn't compatible with the 14 release, I need the last 13 but i don't find it on the official website and i don't trust random website on the internet.

new tor user here. let's say i need to register on a website. should i create a new email? do i even need a google account? what's the safest option?

After connecting then copying and pasting an onion, the browser keeps force quitting. Tried a bridge but same issue. Anyone experienced this problem? Solutions? Thanks

Hi there! Could you recommend a CMS to run a website for a Tor hidden service? Is WordPress a good option?

Hi - just installed it, trying to get it working, and I can add an individual file in no problem; when I add a folder, it puts a red "+1" in the bottom right corner, but nothing else happens and the folder isn't made share-able. I should note that there are folders nested within the folder I am trying to share.

Am I doing it incorrectly?

I'm building a p2p app and it needs really strong obfuscation, I'm trying to see whether it's possible to bypass the GFW with obfuscation protocols.
