<h2>Tor: Users</h2>
<hr />

<p>We have an IRC discussion channel for users and operators. Go to #tor
on irc.oftc.net.</p>

<p>We have a <a
href="http://bugs.noreply.org/tor">bugtracker</a>.
If you have a bug, especially a crash bug, read our <a
href="http://wiki.noreply.org/wiki/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#ReportBug">how
to report a Tor bug</a> FAQ wiki entry first and then go to the bugtracker
and tell us as much information about it as you can. (If your bug is
with Privoxy, your browser, or some other application, please don't put
it in our bugtracker.)
</p>

<p>Check out <a
href="http://www.noreply.org/tor-running-routers/">weasel's graph of
the number of Tor servers over time</a>. To learn more details of the
current Tor nodes, look at Geoff Goodell's <a
href="http://serifos.eecs.harvard.edu:8000/cgi-bin/exit.pl">list
of Tor exit nodes by country</a>. You can also <a
href="http://belegost.seul.org/">fetch the latest dynamically generated
directory directly</a>. (Your Tor client fetches this automatically,
so loading it yourself is just for novelty.)
</p>

<p>
The <a href="http://archives.seul.org/or/announce/">or-announce
mailing list</a> is a low volume list for announcements of new
releases. The <a href="http://archives.seul.org/or/dev/">or-dev
mailing list</a> is for posting by developers only and is where we
send notifications of prereleases and release candidates. The <a
href="http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/">or-talk mailing list</a>
is where a lot of the discussion happens. There's also a list for <a
href="http://archives.seul.org/or/cvs/">cvs commits</a>.
</p>

<p>Here's a brief list of programs you might want to use in association
with Tor:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.privoxy.org/">privoxy</a>: an http proxy that
speaks socks4a. (Win32, Linux, BSD, OS X)</li>
<li><a href="http://jgillick.nettripper.com/switchproxy/">switchproxy</a>: </li>
<li>tor-resolve (in the Tor package): </li>
<li><a href="http://tsocks.sourceforge.net/">tsocks</a>: a program that
intercepts connect() system calls and redirects them through Tor. Doesn't
deal with <a href="http://tor.eff.org/cvs/tor/doc/CLIENTS">DNS leaks</a>,
so you might want to use it together with tor-resolve. (Linux, BSD)</li>
<li><a href="http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/">socat</a>: </li>
<li><a href="http://www.taiyo.co.jp/~gotoh/ssh/connect.html">connect</a>: </li>
<li><a href="http://proxychains.sourceforge.net/">proxychains</a>: </li>
<li><a href="http://www.freecap.ru/eng/">freecap</a>:    </li>
<li><a href="http://www.freehaven.net/~aphex/torcap.zip">torcap</a>:    </li>
<li><a href="http://www.socks.permeo.com/Download/SocksCapDownload/index.asp">sockscap</a>:   </li>
<li><a href="http://freehaven.net/~aphex/TorControl/release/">TorControl</a>: a basic Tor controller with GUI. You'll need to set 'ControlPort 9051' in your torrc.</li>
</ul>

<p>
<a href="http://6sxoyfb3h2nvok2d.onion/">The hidden wiki</a> has a list
of some hidden services and other things. You need Tor and a proxy like
Privoxy to access it.
