Hello Delton, you will need to wait till tor-0.2.5.1 becomes stable if you want to use scramblesuit with a stable Tor. Till then, please keep on using Tor nightlies. As far as your second question goes, unfortunately we don't have good upgrade processes yet. I suggest you do 'apt-get upgrade' every once in a while to get the latest nightlies of obfsproxy/tor. If there are any urgent upgrades that you need to perform I will send an email to tor-relays. Feel free to ask any other questions you have. _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
