It is designed to make connections using the Tor network<br>and will therefore be a valuable piece in the privacy-enhancing software<br>toolkit (web: Tor Browser, email: Thunderbird + TorBirdy, chat: Tor<br>Messenger.) <br><br>Based on the Instantbird IM client [0], Tor Messenger:<br><br> - sends all traffic over Tor,<br> - uses Off-the-Record (OTR) encryption [1] of conversations by default,<br> - can be used with a wide variety of chat networks,<br> - has an easy-to-use graphical user interface localized into multiple<br> languages.<br><br>Some more information about Tor Messenger (and why we picked<br>Instantbird) can be found on the wiki [2].<br><br>Current Status<br><br>We have Tor Messenger bundles for Linux (32-bit and 64-bit) with OTR<br>(using ctypes-otr [4]) and Tor support (Tor binary and Tor Launcher<br>included), among other privacy settings.
