Tor Browser Overview

www-client/torbrowser-launcher

Homepage

Tor Browser Launcher is intended to make Tor Browser easier to install and use for GNU/Linux users. You install 'torbrowser-launcher' from your distribution's package manager and it handles everything else:

www-client/torbrowser

Git repository

This Tor Browser build is not recommended by Tor upstream but uses the same sources. Use this only if you know what you are doing!

The profile folder is located at ~/.torproject/torbrowser/.

Torbrowser uses port 9150 to connect to Tor. You can change the port in /etc/env.d/99torbrowser to match your setup. See 99torbrowser.example for possible settings. You can do this either with gentoo's /etc/env.d mechanism or on the command line.

Advanced functionality

To get the advanced functionality (network information, new identity feature, password prompts for onion services), www-client/torbrowser needs to access a control port and the tor service needs to run with certain options enabled.
