This is a very frequently asked question we see in this subreddit. You generally do not need to use a VPN in conjunction with Tor, and you may even hurt your anonymity by doing so. However, a VPN may help if Tor is censored by your network. Please see the Tor Wiki for more details.
The Tor Project recommends Onion Browser. See onionbrowser.com.

Do you think tor relays could leverage AI to better protect themselves from tor attacks, clear its own logs and monitor its own security posture? Or help its host with troubleshooting?
Is there anyway to get a web clipper working with TOR browser ?
I uninstalled tor but it still comes up on my screen time on my Apple device. It’s showing like 8-11 hours being used a day but I don’t have it installed What could be the reason
for a few years now it has been impossible for me to use reddit on Tor. I encounter many problems every time, sometimes a few disappear to make room for completely new ones. For example now the site isn't loading at all and there is a white screen. The main issue I always had was that they told me my username or password wasnt valid (even if it is) and even changing the password doesnt fix that.
I also tried multiple times to uninstall and resinstall it and checked pretty much all I could in the settings. Is there a way to make reddit work on Tor?
I don't know why But a lot of sites video give me this error There's sites still working normally I tried to install flash , disable noscript and clear cache with history What else i can do
Hello I’m a little confused as to which iOS app to download from my iPhone, there are so many of them that’s a TOR?
Hello,
Is DirPort still used on Tor relays?

Hi guys I’m new to Tor and I want to have a look. At some sketchy sites. I do not want lt get hacked or have my ip or data leaked. I have a list of mesures I do to protect my self can you tell me if it’s good enough or do I need to improve and how. :qubes os, proton (has a no loging policy and also changes dns), whonix, quad 9 dns changer. Tor drag and drop and clip board disabled . Camera and mic ripped out of the lap top. Only os on device is qubes .
I think it would be really cool if this group strives to launch some Tor relay satellites? Are you open to this idea, why? - why not?
I have tried multiple of them, and none of them worked, is there any extension/programm that works and changes volume in tabs?
is it safe to log in to goole or anyt account on tor? im very new to tor and i dont really know much about it besides it being fairly private
i know i should not use these together but i was wondering if i disable orbot while using tor browser and re-enable it again after closing the browser, will that work?
I've been using Tor for several months, ever since YouTube got blocked here. However, starting yesterday, YouTube videos started refusing to load beyond the first 59 seconds. Everything else still seems to work fine, the comments load, the other thumbnails load, other websites like Discord function fine, but this has been a consistent issue since yesterday, even after I closed Tor and reopened it a while later. I don't know what could possibly cause such a specific bug to happen, either. What should I do?
EDIT: It also only seems to be a problem when I'm logged in, for some reason. If I try to watch a video while logged out, everything works fine, though I would much rather find a solution to the issue than have to use YouTube while logged out.
Whenever I try to connect, tor tells me that the browser is set up for a proxy connection, but the proxy has refused connection. Im assumjng this has something to do with a VPN, so I've turned mine off and switched countries, but it still says that. I use Proton VPN
Is it safe to access the Deep/Dark Web with a wiped Android phone with no data on it, using Proton, TOR and home Wi-Fi?
Well, I’m not sure how else to put it. But me and my friend (who searches the dark web) started talking about it. And he kept telling me the horrific stuff that was on it and what people do. Safe to say I got paranoid. What are some things I can do to assure my information isn’t on the dark web, and how do I go forward by making sure it doesn’t end up in there. I know to not click the sketchy links, and ads. And I stay on pretty surface internet. Is it just luck of the draw who gets their info stolen? I guess I just need someone who knows more about this to rest my nerves
So, I started using tor on tails just a few days ago. I heard about some things regarding hacking through Wi-Fi networks. I'm not supper advanced on this kind of stuff so I thought I'd consult the experts. If it isn't safe, what should I connect it to instead?
Hello. How do they generate only ad revenue by creating a site on the dark web? They don't use Google adsense. What, how do they do it?
Is it safe to use tor on ios or surf onion sites?
I don't care if others can see I am using tor, I just don't want it to be known when. I was thinking I could just leave the device running 24/7 but that seems like a waste (in that regard, if I have the screen off/lid closed but not asleep, will tor continue to run in the background while logged into tails regardless of how long it is idle?). Does it makes sense to set up a bridge on a separate device that is always on anyways, and then link to that when needed, or is that not going to help with this goal?
Hello everybody. I installed the orbot application on Android. I know that by default it already meets the needs without configuration and in fact, it is even recommended to keep the defaults. But, I would like to know more from someone with experience about some functions that I observed and was curious about.
1 - do I need to delete nodes like 14 eyes ? 2 - connectivity > isolate destination addresses, destination ports, client protocols (could this somehow increase privacy or anonymity?) 3 - filling (all activated) - according to the description, it helps with traffic analysis and battery consumption
I just asked out of curiosity. I will only modify it if there are benefits that do not harm tor and orbot.
i want to run tor on docker
Can my internet, wifi provider see my searches on the Tor Website app (in android)? If yes, is there any way I can prevent them from being able to see my searches and the websites I open on Tor??
