Improved: Revised version of the Tor reset functionality in the „Countermeasure & Troubleshooting“ menu. For that reason, we added for some message boxes scroll texts, which are visible with the “scroll down” remark in the title of the message box. Improved: Menus and dialog boxes should now work more smoothly on 25×80 textual screens as well as on smartphone and tablet clients. Note: TorBox’s menus and dialog boxes have only been adapted for the PiTFT 3.5 (320×480) or any other display, which displays in textual mode at least 25×80 characters. Since the check does not last more than 5 seconds, Tor may not have been ready yet the check site may have been down, etc. In contrast to the positive message, negative feedback does not necessarily mean that an error has occurred. In case of success, the message starts with “ CONGRATULATION !!” otherwise with “ HMMM… THAT DOESN’T LOOK GOOD…“. New: We use the same method as mentioned above for the final message box after selecting (or changing) a connection (main menu entry 6-11). In other words, if this message is missing, there may or may not be a connection problem. Since a missing response does not automatically mean that there is no connection to the Tor network, no error message is displayed. New: A little message (“ TOR is working“) in the right corner of the main menu shows you immediately if you are connected with the Tor network (meaning returns a positive result). Updated : The system is based on Raspbian “Buster” lite with Linux Kernel 4.19.66 and Tor version 0.4.1.5. New: This version introduces the support for setting up a bridge relay. Below are the corresponding links (typically, you need only the image file): Main Menu TorBox v.0.2.5 Besides, we have added and improved some other details, so that we can now release the resulting image as TorBox v.0.2.5. Mostly during the last few weekends, we’ve implemented a TorBox feature that allows anyone with a public IP address, 24/7 internet connectivity over a long time, and a bandwidth of at least 1 Mbps to configure their bridge relay at the touch of a button and put it on the net. By setting up an obfs4 bridge, you can help censored users connect to the open internet through Tor.īased on this call we put a bridge relay into the net a week ago, and – if everything works out – we will add a second one. We therefore need a constant trickle of new bridges that aren’t blocked anywhere yet. It’s not enough to have many bridges: eventually, all of them could find themselves in block lists. Unfortunately, these numbers have been stagnant for a while. We currently have approximately 1,000 bridges, 600 of which support the obfs4 obfuscation protocol. Almost a month ago, the Tor Project called for support:
