r/TOR

Hi everyone. I’m posting anonymously from Iran, where the internet has been cut off for months. I managed to bypass the firewall, but seeing how stuck my community is makes me want to help.

Students here are missing university application deadlines abroad, and local freelancers are losing their only clients because of the forced silence. I want to help them get back online for basic work and emails.

Standard proxies are blocked instantly, but I found exactly one IP address that is completely whitelisted: 216.239.38.120 (a core Google IP).

I know how to set up local tunnels, but I need outside collaboration. Does anyone know the best way to route V2Ray/Xray through this specific Google infrastructure? Or is anyone already running an endpoint behind this IP who could let me tunnel a small amount of text/document traffic through it?

Please help me, or upvote so a cloud engineer might see this. Thank you.

EDIT / UPDATE: Thanks for the visibility so far. Through further testing, I've noticed that 216.239.38.120 is a Google Custom Domain Anycast IP, this means Google App Engine (GAE) and Google Cloud Run also could work.

bit worried these days anything could happen lol

i feel like im just kinda on the surface, browsing through things like endchan and dark forest via tor.taxi. but i dont get how you go deeper. how you find those other websites and all that. is it a word of mouth thing were you kinda have to hope that someone comments it somewhere. i wanna find more things like tor.taxi that have other forums rooms and shi. do you just have to get lucky and find it?

Hey guys,

​I’m thinking about a messenger concept that’s literally impossible to spy on or shut down.

​Instead of relying on central servers (which track your metadata and can be blocked anytime), every user would act as a standalone peer, routing traffic directly device-to-device through Tor Onion Services.

​No middleman, no metadata leaks, just pure privacy.

​I know making this work smoothly in C++ has its engineering hurdles (like offline messaging), but is this kind of absolute digital autonomy something people actually want? Or is it total overkill?

​Change my mind. Would love to hear your thoughts.

My question is should I use TOR on my personal phone, is it safe because there's some problem with the old phone I use for TOR but I want to use it on my personal phone which I use daily.

i am making an uncensored news site hosted on tor but have no idea how to host a tor site, is it like on hostinger etc?

Is it possible to figure out which specific address it is? I'm only missing the first two characters....

Why can't I access deep web links in the Thor browser? All the links I've tried give me an error.

So, I was curious to access the deep web, I did so using only Tor, and then I discovered that I should have disabled JavaScript. Was that a big risk, or is it safe? I didn't know how to use it; it was more out of curiosity than anything else disgusting. I saw drugs and stuff, but I don't intend to access that place again, anyway. The point is: I messed with the Tor settings and put it on maximum security, but I don't know if that's enough.

sup, i was using tor for a few hours and it got an update, it says that browser wont close, i clicked and when refreshed the button with 'Connect' popped out....

DO I LEAKED MY IP??? PLS ANSWER ME IM SHAKING DO I NEED TO DELETE ACCOUNT OR NAAAAAA

Throwaway account because husband knows my main one. I have known my husband has a severe sex/porn addiction. I have stuck by him as he supposedly worked through it (but lied about it). I recently found that he searched for and loaded the Tor browser app onto his phone in 2023 (this is supposedly while he was working recovery).

I know what Tor accesses. Everyone knows what Tor accesses. And regular people (ie non governmental hackers and spies) really don't use Tor right? Unless they're trying to find bad things, generally regular folks don't use it?

Within the context of my husband's addiction...I should be scared by this, shouldn't I? If he wanted to access legal porn secretly, he could have used any VPN to bypass restrictions and hide it from me. Using Tor is different right? It IS what I think it is?

When I first stumbled upon his vast porn collection years ago, there was no evidence of csam (just the usual "barely legal" teen stuff), but I saw how over time based on dates things were loaded and saved, that what he watched did escalate and get progressively more intense, such as extremely violent porn. He also at one point back then searched for a video that was highly discussed on Reddit for a while, that was supposedly of a man actually raping his girlfriend. So real rape porn has at least been a curiosity before.

It's not a far stretch, seeing as how this addiction does escalate, that he was on tor to at the least search illegal torture porn or rape porn, and at worst csam...is it?

Please help. I have asked him about it and he says he "doesn't remember loading it" and "there is absolutely no reason he would have had that app". I'm spiralling and I think I need to run far from this man. Or maybe I need a reality check and it's not always nefarious?

Edit: I knew I'd get downvoted hard and attacked, and it really doesn't matter. The situation is what it is, and I am only here to ask about purposes of using Tor and if there is any other possible explanation in order to give my husband the benefit of the doubt.

Hi .

I am planning to run a relay in the near future. I know the basics, so if you can provide a complete and comprehensive explanation this will be cool.

question 1 :

what is the different benefits between running exit and mid and guard relay?

question 2:

can I run a relay on a raspberry pi? (I have a bad laptop... out of curiosity will it be good to do it this way though?)

question 3:

what are some important tips I should know "at all" and "before anything"

I have a budget around 200$ and a 20 year old laptop and bad internet

I don't want to admit it but it is my main machine I mean I don't have any PC or other laptops (T-T) *(sad human noises)*
it have a DDR3

6 GB of ram

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2459M CPU @ 2.50GHz

some stuff are manageable like the internet access and the laptop (I can afford another laptop if needed but it shall be a low budget or something else like a raspberry pi)

thank you for the valuable time you spend here

Edited:

some misspellings and the distends between the rows

So I am new to this whole thing (promise not a fed) and I've been trying to learn ethical hacking for a while now, and just tried to check stuff out more in depth about the dark web as well- how do parameters work, what is the difference between regular and dark net sites etc. And I saw a site called "privacySavvy" that has 25 onion sites you can "safely" explore.

Number 5 is "Vortex"
And obviously I only saw the small letters after making an account on it. It says:
"(never visit it unless you need it for research purposes)"

I was researching, couldn't find anything so I made an account-and a shitload of drugs popped up.
Immediately closed it, wanna have nothing to do with it, I just really don't want anny issues with the feds and am just genuienly scared.

Pls someone say I am fine. (No sarcasm please for the love of Pete)

been going deeper into tor, how this stuff actually works, the architecture, threat models, where surveillance breaks down. still learning the technical side. still a noob who is learning but what keeps pulling me in is the underlying logic: that privacy infrastructure built to resist oversight the state loves so much isn't paranoia, it's a reasonable response.
i find that more interesting than the market stuff.
I know there are people thinking about this seriously, but i never found such spaces, the ones that don't surface easily, i guess if any of this resonates, drop something.- can this be removed? why? which words are flagged?

Hey,

Im experimenting with kali linux in VirtualBox. I lile to study the different programms and techniques of pentesting in my own environment with set up servers and pcs etc.

I also stumbled over the tor browser and decided to discover whats in the deep web and even in the dark web since i heard this is a much bigger part of the internet. Since im not planning to download any malware or anything else while im in the deepweb im thought it would make sense to also inform myself about the dangers for my whole system.

How vulnerable is my laptop if anything happens to my virtual kali system (if it gets hacked or so) can a good hacker also break out of the virtual box or is this not possible. What other dangers are there when using your private laptop.

I read on the tornewssite that a whole other laptop is better. Is this necessarily true?

Thanks in advance

Hi
I want to block all VPN protocols and Tor traffic directly from my router/modem to prevent devices from bypassing DNS filters Can I?

Looking for like-minded people interested in working on Tor-related projects, especially around topics that can’t really be discussed openly on Reddit. Also curious if there are any platforms or communities where people into this kind of stuff hang out.

I mistakenly opened some dark web links in duck duck go I was only on it for a minute but could my device be at risk (just a tourist)
