Just tried again:
http://brewformulas.org/Nyx => looks like a rails default error page:
"We're sorry, but something went wrong.If you are the application owner
check the logs for more information."
http://brewformulas.org/ => shows search site

Searching for Tor i found the inactive http://brewformulas.org/Arm to
work.
and on the next page: "Tor is a free software that prevents people from
learning your location or bro... Read more over 4 years ago"
but clicking on the link still gives an error.

I propose to give up on http://brewformulas.org and updated the wiki
to use https://formulae.brew.sh instead.

However i missed stem, Ooniprobe and txtorcon there, but found
https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/onioncat which is not listed at the
packages wiki yet, hence no official Tor project:
https://torproject.org/projects/projects.html

Is it worth to be listed?

I was tricked by HTTPS Everywhere blocking all non-HTTPS traffic,
thatswhy I pasted the failing https link in the mail.

http://pkgsrc.se/wip/torsocks-git got a package in march, updating the
wiki.

Have a nice day!
