by Firefox user 13427842, 7 years agoFollowed online tutorial, does not work. Followed the video online does not work. I have worked in cyber security for over 15 years and have written several securtiy tools, found several security vulnerabilities for large organizations....just saying. Either there is something wrong with this setup....or I am having a really really really bad day. JUst saying....much easier way out there to use the TOR.....this way will only frustrate you and annoy you. Take the path of least resistance...this path leads no-where.

- Rated 1 out of 5by user2859025, a year agoFollowed the instructions down to a T, still doesn't establish a a connection to Tor. Completely useless add-on.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15614831, a year agoCan't you just start tor.exe without all the Node.JS middleware? It's a fair bit of work to install that.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Neil Gager, 2 years agoFor what it's worth, if you've got the "Windscribe - Free Proxy and Ad Blocker" add-on, you need to disable it. Even when it's been turned off (but not disabled) it stops this add-on from working, for me, it did anyway.👍
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17314060, 3 years agoFollowed _exactly_the install instructions given and ended up with a full re-install of FF 0.97 to get my browser working again.
did the following:
0. installed this addon
1. Download “Tor Bundle” and extract it in a local directory (https://github.com/andy-portmen/tor-bundle/releases). Put it into ~/.tor-bundle
2. put userdir/.tor-bundle into the options page text box and saved
3. downloaded the native client from https://github.com/andy-portmen/native-client/releases and installed it into ~/.tor-client and then ran ./install.sh script
4. browser console appeared on my gui (fedora 35 + gnome 41) and started spewing massive amounts of errors:
stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: node:events:498
stderr output from native app com.add0n.node: throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

again and again and again!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Carlos, 4 years agoIt seems to work fine and it's easy to configure.
You only need to install first this extension and then follow the instructions given by the developer:
1.-Download “Tor Bundle” and extract it in a local directory (https://github.com/andy-portmen/tor-bundle/releases).
2.-Open options page and paste the “root” of the extracted folder in the text box.
3.-Install the native client either from the extension or manually from https://github.com/andy-portmen/native-client/releases
4.-Open the toolbar panel and check Tor integration. - Rated 5 out of 5by V&S, 4 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by MaxthonFan, 5 years agoWorks just as intended. Yes, the installation is not 'just click continue' with a nice GUI installer, but I guess the addon's target group isn't the typical BDU either.
