7. Hello. I need a tor obfs4 bridge.
8. I have a code for bridges, but I can’t download Tor browser on my iPhone.
9. Could someone help me with this? I'm on this website where I can't sign in, I enter my account info in the sign in box and it doesn't do anything. I refresh the website and get the above message and can't do anything.
10. Where can I download a 32 bit version for Win7?
11. When I go to sign in to my Gmail account the page keeps coming up in another language. I've gone to options on the browser and keep selecting English (US), but nothing is changing.
12. I don’t understand at all your step to verify tor signature. Can you help me with that? I readed this page so many times without understanding it. https://www.torproject.org/docs/verifying-signatures.html.en
13. Can I help you with translate app to Polish language?
14. Hey, Do you have a windows XP version still running ? Thanks in advance!
15. Is there any way to change the default window size of the Browser when it starts up? I just want it to look good.
16. Hello The TOR browser does not want to download. Should I try another source, other than your own website ?
