If you have the system installed tor then it will get automatic updates from the Fedora repository. If you just run the tor binary directly from the bundle then it will never run any auto-update code (until next time you run tor browser itself). I don't have the system tor installed but presumably you just edit /etc/tor/torrc for configuration.Īutomatic updates are done by the tor browser launcher (and I think by tbb itself these days). Yes running the system tor alone, it will just be listening on a socks port waiting for connections (once you start it). However some general answers.Ī dnf installed tor shouldn't interfere with tbb unless you try to run both at the same time listening on the same port. Kindly if you answer these questions point by point to avoid confusion. So, why automatic update affected if I activated tor ? And if this affect automatic update then why you restrict the case to "user tbb tor" only ? But I like to know: what is the relation between automatic update & tor bundle from within portable package of Tor browser that came by torbrowser-launcher ? In my mind the following: if I activate tor bundle (whether tor from "sudo dnf install tor" or tor from torbrowser-launcher") it will not make any application use Tor network unless I configure this application manually to use Tor network. Please can you explain more ? I did not understood ! Is this correct ?Ĥ) does "tor" from "sudo dnf install tor" has special GUI to configure it or it is configured from within command line ?ĥ) last question: you said "if you point to your user tbb tor you won't get any automatic updates including security fixes unless you also still regularly run tbb itself to handle the updates." Is this correct or not ?Ģ) does "sudo dnf install tor" interfer by any way with use of "Tor browser via torbrowser-launcher" in any way?ģ) I feel that use of Tor browser from within torbrowser-launcher will make only Tor browser connected to tor network while "tor" from "sudo dnf install tor" will make a connection over tor network activated but no any application will make of use from it automatically but user have to configure application manually to use tor bundle. Now I have the following questions before I proceed for action on my system:ġ) I feel that "sudo dnf install tor" is the best choice.
It is NOT a browser! It is not Tor browser ! It is Tor bundle only !! Now after your replay "sudo dnf install tor" I searched package & saw package called "tor".
At that time, I searched about Tor but I DID NOT SEE ANY PACKAGE CALLED tor or Tor at all ! I only saw "torbrowser-launcher" package. Thank you too much for your very informative replay ! But I did not applied the paths you suggested because you make me know information that I did not know before ! I have now more questions but I have to explain the following: when I installed Tor browser on my Fedora & was on Fedora 24.
