Hi
Had several attempts from different web sites all giving out different commands and non of them work!

Anyone installed it on linux with sucsess and know the Terminal command please?

Thanks

I download the package from torproject.org then use my distribution's install utility.

Hi.
Sometimes programs need any libraries/compiler wich the OS don't have, or have oldest libraries/compilers. If the problem is a compiler the executable file begin and finish without messages about errors.

You can try to test the program in other OS (newer o more complete).

I wish this will be useful.


Have a nice day.

torflix,

Welcome to LQ forums.

Go to:
https://www.torproject.org/download/

Click on Download for Linux > Save file to Downloads (or Desktop or elsewhere and change the directory name below accordingly).

Verify the file's signature.

Right click on file > Properties > Permissions > Execute > Allow executing file as program > Close.

Open Terminal.

Press Enter.

Press Enter.

Press Enter.

Press Enter.

Dose this mean i have to go to there web site first before i go to the terminal (for which my ISP has blocked me)

Is there no "sudo apt install" command hear?

(You don't need to quote entire messages like that; doing so just adds noise.)

You need to specify WHICH DISTRO for anyone to recommend specific packages.

Since you mention apt, that implies Debian-based, and there is a torbrowser-launcher package in Debian's contrib repo, but that just automates the download step, so would probably still get blocked.

If your ISP has blocked the site at the DNS level, you can maybe go via the IP - since the current download appears to be https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/13.0.1/tor-browser-linux-x86_64-13.0.1.tar.xz you can try:
Of course, blinding following that advice would be insecure - I'm a random stranger on the Internet, and could be sending you to a different server with malware on - so you should independently verify that the above IP address resolves to the correct server (e.g. by running "dig dist.torproject.org" on a machine without a DNS block, or by entering "dig torproject.org" into DuckDuckGo).

If your ISP has blocked it differently, this still wont work and you'll need a different method to get the file. (Does your mobile device have a data plan on a different network?)

There are official mirrors at //tor.eff.org and //tor.calyxinstitute.org which may work.

Another option might be to use Tails (an OS which uses Tor Browser), because even if your ISP has blocked //tails.net, it is mirrored at //mirrors.wikimedia.org/tails/stable/tails-amd64-5.19.1 (and possibly somewhere on //www.distrowatch.com too, but that site isn't working for me at the moment to check ).

torflix,

It is only on post #5 that you tell us your real reason for wanting help and that is because your ISP is blocking access to the Tor download.

There are ways to get round this, but even with Tor installed, your ISP will still be able to detect its use.

Not much. I've never heard of it, and a search for "penguin terminal" brings up references to multiple different things: "Pengwin" (a Linux distro targeted at WSL); Chromebook/ChromeOS; or a tool on iOS/Android.

Also, the terminal generally comes with the desktop, so doesn't necessarily say anything about which package management system or repositories are used.


If you have inxi installed (or can install it), "inxi -S" will give basic OS info, and "inxi -Sr" would also confirm the package repositories.

Otherwise, try "uname -a" and "cat /etc/os-release" to confirm the OS.


As for the certificate error shown in the image, click Advanced and view certificate (or whatever it might be labelled), and check the certificate details.

Here it's a Let's Encrypt certificate that expires on 30 Jan 2024 with:
If you seem the same, I guess it's just the browser being stupid, but if it doesn't match then maybe someone is MitM-ing your connection.


beachboy2 is correct that installing Tor Browser doesn't guarantee that you'll be able to connect to the Tor network - again it comes down to what/how/why they have blocked the website - and even if it works, the ISP will still be able to know you're accessing Tor, so if that is against terms of use, you may get in trouble.

Yes and no!
Yes, I was hoping that it would allow me access to there site but
No, The likely hood is that any link they have on there site will not work as I am not running a linux OS, only the terminal that I downloaded for my chromebook

Those 2 are commands not found! so lets presume that i do not have it installed

Great! looks like we have a start now

As far as i was aware on other browsers that it was the server (Voda phone) that was blocking me

But hear is what it has said

www.torproject.org normally uses encryption to protect your information. When Chrome tried to connect to www.torproject.org this time, the website sent back unusual and incorrect credentials. This may happen when an attacker is trying to pretend to be www.torproject.org or a Wi-Fi sign-in screen has interrupted the connection. Your information is still secure because Chrome stopped the connection before any data was exchanged.

You cannot visit www.torproject.org right now because the website uses HSTS. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later. (which is utter BS)

If you look at the last link in my last post then there is no option for me to Encrypt the cirtificate

Edit## I have just pressed the link "turn on enhanced protection" and selected "no protection"

Refreshed the page and still nothing has changed!
