 * Anyone can feel free to add that information. Instead of taking the path of least resistance, do a little research and add it yourself. It will improve the community as a whole. Nothing more I can say. Kind regards, --Maffblaster (talk) 02:28, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

Tor Browser
What about the official Tor Browser from their homepage? afaik it's a lot more safe and private if you just need to surf. Should it be added to the page? Fcl (talk) 22:10, 30 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Go for it! You can at least mention they offer a standalone package that will work out-of-the-box on Linux. Thanks for the improvements. Kind regards, --Maffblaster (talk) 02:30, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

iptables changes over ssh
Do not execute iptables -P OUTPUT DROP when connected over ssh ... as you will be cut off ;-) — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bw (talk • contribs) 6 February 2017


 * Uh...thanks? :) Nothing to discuss about this. If there's a problem in the article you can fix it. Publicly editable and all... --Maffblaster (talk) 04:49, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

iptable owner error
root #iptables -A OUTPUT -m owner --uid-owner tor -j ACCEPT gives me the following error: iptables: No chain/target/match by that name — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bw (talk • contribs) 6 February 2017
 * You need to enable "owner" support in Network filtering on your linux kernel. Enable advanced settings in Networking filtering support, go into core filter and enable owner, that should do it, --GovanifY (talk) 13:22, 20 April 2017 (UTC+2)

Chromium
After following this guide I had problems with a couple of programs, one of them was Chromium until I added this: CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--proxy-server=socks5://127.0.0.1:9050" to /etc/chromium/default.

I didn't want to add the comment to the page unless somebody can corroborate my experience, just in case I messed something up on my configuration with out me realising and that was the cause of the problem. Patomas (talk) 08:45, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

Breakup into multiple pages
This page is enormous in size and contains a lot of information. It can be better done by breaking it into smaller pages. Alternatively, this information is not pertinent to Gentoo and is general Tor information, it might not be best suited to stay in our wiki. I prefer keeping it and breaking it up. --Aisha (talk) 13:50, 10 November 2020 (EST)
