+
+Q. How do I get a new identity?
+A. Tor Browser features âNew Identityâ and âNew Tor Circuit for this
Siteâ options, located in the Torbutton menu.
+
+New Identity
+This option is useful if you want to prevent your subsequent browser activity
from being linkable to what you were doing before. Selecting it will close all
your open tabs and windows, clear all private information such as cookies and
browsing history, and use new Tor circuits for all connections. Tor Browser
will warn you that all activity and downloads will be stopped, so take this
into account before clicking âNew Identityâ.
+
+New Tor Circuit for this Site
+This option is useful if the exit relay you are using is unable to connect to
the website you require, or is not loading it properly. Selecting it will cause
the currently-active tab or window to be reloaded over a new Tor circuit. Other
open tabs and windows from the same website will use the new circuit as well
once they are reloaded. This option does not clear any private information or
unlink your activity, nor does it affect your current connections to other
websites.

+
+Q. A website (bank, email provider, etc..) locks me out whenever I use Tor,
what can I do?
+A. Tor Browser often makes your connection appear as though it is coming from
an entirely different part of the world. Some websites, such as banks or email
providers, might interpret this as a sign that your account has been hacked or
compromised, and lock you out. The only way to resolve this is by following the
siteâs recommended procedure for account recovery, or contacting the
operators and explaining the situation.
+
+Q. I cannot reach X.onion!
+A. If you cannot reach the onion service you require, make sure that you have
entered the 16-character onion address correctly: even a small mistake will
stop Tor Browser from being able to reach the site. If you are still unable to
connect to the onion service, please try again later. There may be a temporary
connection issue, or the site operators may have allowed it to go offline
without warning.
+
+You can also ensure that you're able to access other onion services by
connecting to DuckDuckGo's Onion Service (http://3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion/).
