This is a community to discuss the tor project and your experience with tor, tor browser, etc.

Rules are generally: be nice, don't be bigoted, etc.

Only seems fair that an infosec instance should have a community about one of the most well known anonymity tools :)

Does there exist a clearnet-incapable OS? (infosec.pub)

I need this for political/activist purposes. When a public service blocks Tor, I want to be able to say that the public service marginalises/disservices ppl on some platforms.

My first thought was Qubes OS, because it can be setup as a Tor-only platform. The flaw of course is that users can configure it either way. So the public service would argue that it was the user’s choice to configure it to not use clearnet. If an OS were to operate purely on anonymous networks with no direct clearnet access, this would have some niche applications for activism.

Tails worked on clearnet, last time I used it. It gave a choice between tor browser or a clearnet browser.

The current description of Tails seems to say the opposite. They say ALL traffic goes through Tor. And only the Tor Browser is installed.

thanks for pointing that out. I’ll have take look at their most recent version then.

IIRC there is a non-tor browser, which is included for things like logging in to wifi captive portals. Not sure I understand exactly what you're after but you can uninstall the package if needed.
