Dear all, Weâre happy to announce the release of Tor2web 3.1.41 [1]. This release includes the following important features: - Tor2web GetTor: that provides end-user a super-easy-automatic way to download Tor Browser - Tor2web CheckTor: that enables third party sites to check if a user is behind Tor - Improved URL rewriting for JS, CSS, and XML files - Improved packaging and signing Most of the improvals are thanks to a private donation by Virgil Griffith in relation to the Onion.city project [2]. ### Tor2web GetTor Tor2web GetTor [3] is designed to enable third party to design and develop their own Tor Browser installation instruction, by simplifying and localizing that process. It serves the latests stable Tor Browser for Windows and Mac OS X directly from any Tor2web public or private server on the following URL: * /gettor : gives you the latests TBB for your OS/Language * /gettor/signature : gives you the signature file for the latests TBB for your OS/Language It automatically detects the operating system (Windows, Mac OS X) and language, by serving the right TBB installation file. For iOS and Android does redirect to the Apple Store and Google Play. Documentation of Tor2web GetTor is at https://github.com/globaleaks/Tor2web/wiki/GetTor . The corresponding ticket for development is at https://github.com/globaleaks/Tor2web/issues/168 Tor2web GetTor feature comes from a functional requirement for a GlobaLeaks deployment for Amnesty International. The feature is the result of a collaborative effort between Hermes Center (Giovanni/Fabio) and Ilv (https://github.com/ilv/gettor) working on the Tor Projectâs GetTor (https://www.torproject.org/projects/gettor.html). ### Tor2web CheckTor Tor2web CheckTor [4] enables a third party website, to verify if a user is connecting over Tor or not, in a flexible way with the regards to the different usage/integration requirements. It serves an HTTP Header X-Check-Tor (true/false) on each Tor2web response, additionally providing a /checktor embeddable URI (CORS enabled) that provide a data format compatible with https://check.torproject.org/api/ip . CheckTor.js and CheckTor.html examples have been written in order to simplify user adoption and integration inside third party websites: https://github.com/globaleaks/Tor2web/blob/master/contrib/checktor Documentation of Tor2web CheckTor is at https://github.com/globaleaks/Tor2web/wiki/CheckTor . Tor2web CheckTor comes from a functional requirement for a GlobaLeaks deployment for OCCRP (Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project), where we designed a new "Integrated way" to deploy Whistleblowing site (https://github.com/globaleaks/GlobaLeaks/wiki/Integration-Guide). We invite the Tor community to contribute, evaluate, constructively criticize those additional facilities weâve integrated into Tor2web.
