For example for browsers (where integrating Tor is a goal with Brave in private browsing and it has been suggested by the (ex?)-CEO of Mozilla) among the requirements I can think of,
1. Having the user agent the same as the Tor Browser (Otherwise fingerprinting would be easy).
2. Stream isolation should be enforced, otherwise a single exit can watch all traffic.
3. First party isolation should be enforced.
5. ...etc
Of course there's already the Tor Browser design documentation, but it doesn't address this question directly, and more importantly those folks don't want to make an alternative Tor Browser, rather just a "Tor mode" to their private browsing that can enable true privacy by design.
What do you think of such an idea?
Note that this finds its parallel with little-t-tor in another ticket that I couldn't find about alternative implementations of the tor client.website redesignhttps://gitlab.torproject.org/legacy/trac/-/issues/23371adding a short paragraph on how to protect themself anonymous on internet and...2020-06-13T17:36:10ZTracadding a short paragraph on how to protect themself anonymous on internet and outside of it to " Tips On Staying Anonymous » "I would add a preamble of "Tips On Staying Anonymous" would be something like:

- First of all tor is not the only thing to be safe on internet. It would be dangerous to use the following advice while being unsafe in your internet behavior, outside and inside tor, and in this case your effort would be quite vain.
- Second it is likely that being safe on internet is not enough if you are not safe away of the keyboard. So take care of yourself.
Now the instruction to stay safe on tor. At the end of this instruction we will give you some pointer to do these both important thing.

Either:
- Two very short paragraph on how to stay safe online and offline. (That would be the best, but the instruction are already quite long.)
- Two links toward longish explanations.
as my nick imply it is a throwaway account, so little is expected that I will do the follow up of this bug. Hope that would help.

FAQ - How do I use Tor from an IPv6 only host/computer?
Answer - You'll need to be using Tor version 0.2.8.x or newer and add the following two entries into your torrc.
ClientUseIPv4 0
ClientUseIPv6 1
In the torrc man page, the ClientUseIPv6 section can have this one line appended.
For IPv6 only hosts, you need to set ClientUseIPv4 to 0 to disable IPv4.

What should users actually do with the information that, for example, their first hop and last hop are both in the US?
If we have an actual recommendation, we should change Tor to do that thing automatically.
I think the current situation is that there are many attacks and adversaries that Tor is trying to defend against at once, and constraining paths has surprising trickle-down effects on the other attacks (e.g. if I see where you exit then I know where you *didn't* enter, thus reducing your entropy, sometimes by a surprising amount depending on what path constraints we pick).
So the current advice amounts to "don't mess with it, you'll probably screw it up, we don't understand it very well either". We should figure out a way to concisely give people all the intuition that we have, so they can make good decisions.website redesigncypherpunkscypherpunkshttps://gitlab.torproject.org/legacy/trac/-/issues/13665Update the obfsbridge setup instructions on the website2020-06-13T17:22:29ZGeorge KadianakisUpdate the obfsbridge setup instructions on the websitehttps://www.torproject.org/projects/obfsproxy-debian-instructions.html.en#instructions

As sysrqb noted, the official obfsbridge setup instructions are actually obfsproxy setup instructions which only support obfs3. The instructions should be updated to also include obfs4 which is the future PT. Then, we should also include instructions for FTE.
Furthermore, the page is missing `ExtORPort auto` from the sample torrc. Should we add it there? If yes, we need to make sure that all those people will have tor-0.2.5.x installed.

We don't seem to have one, and [tor's man page](https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en) says "Store working data in DIR (Default: @LOCALSTATEDIR@/lib/tor)". I have no clue what that macro expands to, nor would I expect users to. :)
If we can't clarify the manual page then this seems like something we should include in our FAQ since it in turn defines the path of our authentication cookie among other things.WebsiteV3Matt PaganMatt Paganhttps://gitlab.torproject.org/legacy/trac/-/issues/10990Shrink the FAQ2020-06-13T17:21:52ZMatt PaganShrink the FAQThe wiki FAQ entries have been transferred to the main website FAQ.
