OfficialOfficial Tor Project site: downloads, documentation and blog.
2gzyxa5ihm7n…3wid.onionOpenTools & anonymity
Free software projects focused on anonymity and digital sovereignty.
If you're going to use Tor seriously, sooner or later you want the source, the documentation and the download pages served over Tor itself — so the fetch can't be tampered with by a hostile exit or a state-level actor sitting on your connection. The projects listed here publish their downloads, docs and announcements on official .onion addresses: the Tor Project itself, operating systems built around anonymity, and the file-sharing tools most commonly paired with them.
