==- do not unpack or run Tor Browser as root==
==- only download it over a vpn==

Install on Linux

  • Download the architecture-appropriate file
  • extract the package archive (for 64-bit ) :
    tar -xvJf tor-browser-linux64-7.5.4_LANG.tar.xz (where LANG is the language listed in the filename)
  • switch to the Tor browser directory cd tor-browser_LANG

to run Tor Browser, click

  • on the Tor Browser
  • or the Tor Browser Setup icon
  • or execute the start-tor-browser.desktop file in a terminal: ./start-tor-browser.desktop
    This will launch Tor Launcher and once that connects to Tor, it will launch Firefox browser.

usage

  • useful “start pages” for Tor
    - tor.taxi
    - dark.fail
  • docu : “the dark net bible”
  • search engines :
    - phobos
    - haystack
    searching tor is something like internet usage before internet search engines ;
    more like jumping from link to link , but there also limited, localized search engines available

run tor over vpn

there is severe discussion about this , wether you should or should not do this
but pro & contra agree : it is certainly useful when tor is blocked (in your country , your isp , …)

bookmarks

  • do not keep them as bookmarks in tor browser
  • in KeepasXC
  • in an encrypted file
