Noticed a warning when installing Tor Browser for Windows? ⚠️ Our installer’s signing certificate expired. While we renew it, our website will serve version
15.0.20 for Windows users. After installation and on first run, the browser will download the latest version and install it on next launch. This avoids the expired certificate warning. Read about the new release and this temporary change: blog.torproject.org/new-rele…

Our Tool of the Week is Tor VPN Beta by @torproject.
Built from scratch for Android, it routes selected apps through separate Tor circuits—hiding users’ IP addresses, separating their activity and helping them bypass censorship.
The project is still in beta and invites community testing and feedback.

Thank you so much @jonaharagon! This match is doubling the impact of every other donation towards high-capacity privacy-focused infrastructure courtesy of @EmeraldOnion @TriplebitNET @unredacted_org.

I'm fundraising for the Tor Project as well as three different nonprofit Tor relay operators: Emerald Onion, Triplebit, and Unredacted ❤️🔥
And, I'm matching all donations up to $3000! 🤑 Which means if you donate...
- 50% of your donation will go to @torproject,
- 50% to @EmeraldOnion,
- 50% to @TriplebitNET, and
- 50% to @unredacted_org
= 200% donations! 😎🎉
Why donate?
The Tor network is an invaluable tool for journalists, activists, vulnerable individuals, and everyday privacy seekers looking to bypass censorship and avoid tracking on the internet.
While the Tor Project itself develops the software and operates valuable infrastructure, its privacy-preserving network relies on a huge network of independent, community volunteer-run relay servers to carry that traffic.
Unredacted, Emerald Onion, and Triplebit are three organizations among many who are operating high-capacity privacy-focused infrastructure for the public good.
All three projects run their own hardware and own their own IP addresses and networks, which is a significant expense over VPS hosting in the name of improved privacy, and requires extraordinary support from their donors to continue operating 😊

A year ago, we soft-launched Tor VPN Beta as a way to extend Tor's privacy protections beyond the browser to an entire Android device. Since then, we've been able to learn from how people are actually using it in real-world scenarios. Learn more about what makes our per-app circuit isolation different from commercial VPNs, the surprising UX lesson when trying to bypass blocks, and the mobile foundation we're building for what's next. blog.torproject.org/tor-vpn-…
Tor VPN Beta is the result of a collaborative, multi-year effort. Thank you to @guardianproject for their guidance and critical low-level mobile libraries, and @leapcode for their quality work, without both the app would have never seen the light of day. We're continuing to build Tor VPN Beta in the open, shaped by how people are actually using it.
