<h3><a class="anchor" href="#SupportMail">How can I get an answer to my
Tor support mail?</a></h3>
+
+ <p>There is no official support for Tor. Your best bet is to try the
following:
+ <ol>
+ <li>Read through this <a href="<page docs/faq>">FAQ</a>.</li>
+ <li>Read through the <a href="<page
docs/documentation>">documentation</a>.</li>
+ <li>Read through the <a
+ href="http://archives.seul.org/or/talk";>OR-TALK Archives</a> and
+ see if your question is already answered.</li>
+ <li>Join our <a href="irc://irc.oftc.net#tor">irc channel</a> and
+ state the issue and wait for help.</li>
+ <li>Send an email to tor-assistants at torproject.org. These are
+ volunteers who may be able to help you but you may not get a response
+ for days.</li>
+ </ol>
- <p>
- Many people send the Tor developers mail privately, or send mail to
- our internal <a href="<page about/contact>">lists</a>, with questions
about their
- specific setup — they can't get their firewall working right,
- they can't configure Polipo correctly, or so on. Sometimes our
- volunteers can answer these mails, but typically they need to spend
- most of their time on development tasks that will benefit more people.
- This is especially true if your question is already covered in the <a
- href="<page docs/documentation>">documentation</a> or on this FAQ.
- </p>
- <p>
- So if we don't answer your mail, first check the <a href="<page
- docs/documentation>">documentation</a> page, along with this FAQ,
- to make sure your question isn't already answered. Then read <a
- href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html";>"How to ask
- questions the smart way"</a>. If this doesn't help you, note that we
- have <a href="<page docs/documentation>#Support">an IRC channel</a> where
you
- can ask your questions (but if they are still open-ended, ill-formed,
- or not about Tor, you likely won't get much help there either). Lastly,
- people on the <a href="<page docs/documentation>#MailingLists">or-talk
- mailing list</a> may be able to provide some hints for you, if
- others have experienced your problems too. Be sure to look over <a
- href="http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/";>the archives</a> first.
- </p>
+ <p>If you find your answer, please stick around on the IRC channel or the
+ mailing list and answer questions from others.</p>
- <p>
- Another strategy is to <a href="<page docs/tor-doc-relay>">run a Tor
- relay for a while</a>, and/or <a href="<page donate/donate>">donate
money</a>
- <a href="<page getinvolved/volunteer>">or time</a> to the effort. We're
more likely
- to pay attention to people who have demonstrated interest and commitment
- to giving back to the Tor community.
- </p>

- If you find your answer, please stick around on the IRC channel or the
- mailing list and answer questions from others.
