Are there countries where using Tor is illegal?
by Cristian Consonni 11 May '25

11 May '25

Hi, (Sorry if this question has already been asked in the past, feel free to point me to the relevant resources.) I know that the legal FAQs by the EFF state that: «we believe that running a Tor relay — including an exit relay that allows people to anonymously send and receive traffic — is legal under U.S. law.»[1] I also know there is a list of countries for which there is legislation that exclude communication service providers from liability. They are indicated in the Legal of the Tor Exit Guidelines page[2], they are USA, Germany, Netherlands, Austria, France, and Sweden. >From some articles in the press[3a][3b] it may be illegal - depending on how you interpret the wording[*] - to use Tor (and other technologies such as VPNs or proxies) in the UAE, with fines ranging in the millions of dirhams (hundreds of thousand of dollars). A couple of weeks ago it was discussed - on this list as well - that a law was introduced to the state parliament to ban Tor[4a][4b]. This follows a case of some months ago of a Russian Tor exit node operator being arrested for inciting mass riots and terrorism[4c][4d]. The idea of blocking VPNs or Tor seems to have already been considered in the past[4e]. This infographic about pluggable transports[5] suggests access to the Tor network is censored or limited in China, Uzbekistan, Iran, and Kazakhstan. Tor being censored orblocked may be different from it being illegal. What about other countries? Is there a place where I can find more about this topic?

by Taylor Yu 13 Nov '20

13 Nov '20

Hi all, Here is a brief summary of the Community Council's activities from April 2020 through August 2020. The 2019 and 2020 Community Councils overlapped in the month of August. April 2020 The Council talked about longer term plans for the Council's role in the future. May 2020 The Council started planning for the upcoming Community Council election cycle. Some exploration of how to make the handover to the new Council go more smoothly because we won't have an in-person meeting for the foreseeable future. June 2020 The Council reviewed an existing community health concern in the light of new information, and began to draft a statement for internal communication. The Council reviewed existing practices in choosing to reject bad relays. Given the shortage of volunteers, made a one week extension for the call for volunteers for the next Community Council. More reminders in more places about Code of Conduct the Community Council, and other related documents. July 2020 The Council took action regarding a past Code of Conduct violation by a community member. The Council took action regarding an existing community health matter. The Council began the process of elections for the next year's Council. August 2020 The Council began the transition process to the 2020 Council. The Council continued to take action regarding an existing community health matter. --- end of summary --- This summary will also be posted on the Council's wiki page. This will be the last update from the 2019 Community Council. If you have any feedback about this summary format, or any other feedback to the Council, please contact us at tor-community-council(a)lists.torproject.org.

Tor's Bug Smash Fund: Fundraising Campaign
by Al Smith 17 Sep '20

17 Sep '20

Hello Tor! Today, the Tor Project is launching our second annual Bug Smash Fund,[1] a month-long fundraising campaign (7/31 - 8/31). The goal of the Bug Smash Fund campaign is to raise unrestricted funds that we allocate to finding and fixing bugs / doing maintenance / and addressing issues that aren’t flashy or exciting for most funders, but totally necessary for the health of Tor and all of the third party apps that rely on Tor to provide privacy, security, and anonymity to their users. Unrestricted funding, like what we’re raising for the Bug Smash Fund, is key for the Tor Project to improve our agility and stop relying on the slow, piecemeal process of grant funding in order to accomplish our goals and respond to emergent issues. Last year during our first Bug Smash Fund campaign, we raised $86,081 that we used to close 74 tickets.[2] In 2019, we were able to allocate all of the donations we raised in-person at DEF CON to the Bug Smash Fund. That was about $40,000. As we all know, this year is different, and it will be a big stretch to meet or exceed the amount we raised last year without this event. So your help to amplify this campaign could really help make this campaign a success. How to help: -- Tweet about the Bug Smash Fund using the #TorBugSmash and a link to our launch blog post. Here are some suggested posts.[3] -- Quote tweet @torproject posts about the Bug Smash Fund with your own take about why unrestricted funds are so important for the health of Tor. -- Forward this email to those who might be able to amplify the campaign. Activities in August to support the Bug Smash Fund campaign: -- Hosting a second PrivChat event featuring stories about smashing bugs in software development on (date tbd) -- Sharing regularly on social media and engaging our friends to amplify the campaign -- Sending two emails to previous donors who have not made a donation in the last 90 days -- Promoting a new cryptocurrency campaign on Blockchair: https://blockchair.com/donut/tor-project If you have any questions about or ideas for the Bug Smash Fund campaign, please email me or Isabela or grants(a)torproject.org, we would be happy to talk about it. Happy Friday, Al [1] https://blog.torproject.org/tor-bug-smash-fund-2020 [2] https://blog.torproject.org/tor-bug-smash-fund-2019-final-update [3] https://pad.riseup.net/p/OiWVPFGPw7I9vnX7MnN2 -- Al Smith (they/them) Fundraising • Communications The Tor Project
