How do I connect my Tor relay?

Under the "Bridges" section, locate the option "Choose from Tor Browser's one of built-in bridges" and click on "Select a Built-In Bridge" option. From the menu, select whichever pluggable transport you'd like to use. Once you've selected the pluggable transport, scroll up and click "Connect" to save your settings.

What is the default socks port for Tor browser?

A very simple configuration will expose Tor Socks proxy service on Tor default port (9050) and will accept connections only from local LAN (192.168. 1.0/24).

What port is best for Tor bridge?

What external TCP port do you want to use for incoming Tor connections? ("ORPort" configuration: We recommend port 443 if that is not used by another daemon on your server already. ORPort 443 is recommended because it is often one of the few open ports on public WIFI networks.

What is SOCKS5 port?

In Summary. A SOCKs5 proxy is a lightweight, general-purpose proxy that sits at layer 5 of the OSI model and uses a tunneling method. It supports various types of traffic generated by protocols, such as HTTP, SMTP and FTP. SOCKs5 is faster than a VPN and easy to use.

Is Tor socks4 or SOCKS5?

SOCKS5 is an Internet protocol used by Tor.

Does SOCKS5 use TCP or UDP?

Unlike its predecessors, which only used TCP protocol, SOCKS5 proxy servers can use UDP protocol, ensuring a reliable connection and efficient performance. The TCP internet protocol forms a connection between a client and a server, making sure that all the packets arrive from one side to the other.

Can Russians access Tor?

In December 2021, Russia's media regulator, Roskomnadzor, enacted a 4-year-old court order that allows it to order Internet service providers (ISPs) to block the Tor Project website, where the Tor Browser can be downloaded, and restrict access to its services.

Do some ISPs block Tor?

Because Tor has been used for illegal activities, some ISP might throttle or block Tor traffic. Thanks to onion routing, your ISP can't know which site you're visiting or read your traffic. However, ISP will know that you're using Tor. This is because the IP addresses of Tor's nodes are publicly available.

How do I know which port Tor is using?

Tor service runs at default port 9150 and ControlPort on 9151 . You should be able to see local address 127.0. 0.1:9150 and 127.0.

Can ISP see Tor Bridge?

Although your internet traffic is encrypted on Tor, your ISP can still see that you're connected to Tor. Plus, Tor cannot protect against tracking at the entry and exit nodes of its network. Anyone who owns and operates the entry node will see your real IP address.

Does Tor use port 443?

The well known TLS port for Tor traffic is 443. Tor commonly uses ports 9001 and 9030 for network traffic and directory information.

What is relay in Tor browser?

Tor relays are also referred to as "routers" or "nodes." They receive traffic on the Tor network and pass it along. Check out the Tor website for a more detailed explanation of how Tor works. There are three kinds of relays that you can run in order to help the Tor network: middle relays, exit relays, and bridges.

Should I run a Tor relay?

By running a Tor relay you can help make the Tor network: faster (and therefore more usable) more robust against attacks. more stable in case of outages.

Can police track Tor?

There is no way to track live, encrypted VPN traffic.

Using the Tor browser could be suspicious to your ISP and, therefore, to the police. However, you're not going to get in trouble just because it looks a bit suspicious.

Do I need a VPN with Tor?

A VPN isn't a requirement to use Tor, but it helps a lot. It encrypts your whole traffic, masking it from the ISP. In short, it's much safer to use Tor with a VPN. Not all VPNs offer Tor features in their product.

Where is Tor configuration file?

The config file for Tor is /etc/tor/torrc . Tor is, by default in a secure mode. Adding a Hidden Service allows your machine to be communicated with regardless the network and its location.

Does Tor use UDP or TCP?

Tor only supports TCP. Non-TCP traffic to the Internet, such as UDP datagrams and ICMP packets, is dropped.

Why does Tor use 3 relays?

Tor uses only three relays by default because that's the bare minimum you need for safety. You can always use more…at a price. One would be pointless, since whoever operates that node you chose will see everything. Two is dangerous, because the entry and exit nodes would then be directly connected.

What are the minimum requirements for Tor relay?

It is recommended that a relay have at least 16 Mbit/s (Mbps) upload bandwidth and 16 Mbit/s (Mbps) download bandwidth available for Tor. More is better. The minimum requirements for a relay are 10 Mbit/s (Mbps). If you have less than 10 Mbit/s but at least 1 Mbit/s we recommend you run a bridge with obfs4 support.
