Re: [Trisquel-users] Question about Tor

[chris]

If you downloaded the Tor Browser Bundle from the torproject.org web site  
then your not setup as an exit node. Don't use tor from the Trisquel  
repository as it is not safe. The Trisquel tor is out of date and may (almost  
certainly does) have security vulnerabilities.

Basically any Tor from Ubuntu or is derived from it is unsafe. The reason it  
is not updated is because Ubuntu has taken Debian and copied it, then does  
not sync back with Debian, thus Tor in Ubuntu's repositories and anything  
based on it is out of date and insecure. Generally speaking this is true for  
anything that is not in Ubuntu's main repository. The stuff in Ubuntu's main  
repository is kept up to date-and nothing else.
