This Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we’re sharing small steps toward more privacy and security online.
📲 First up: Downloading Tor apps through our official channels, you can be sure to get the real thing. Check out our new download page: https://t.co/8O5RJZahs1

[The Tor Project @torproject]

Noticed a warning when installing Tor Browser for Windows? ⚠️ Our installer’s signing certificate expired. While we renew it, our website will serve version
15.0.20 for Windows users. After installation and on first run, the browser will download the latest version and install it on next launch. This avoids the expired certificate warning. Read about the new release and this temporary change: https://t.co/nuREaTaS53

[Web3Privacy Now @web3privacy]

Our Tool of the Week is Tor VPN Beta by @torproject.

Built from scratch for Android, it routes selected apps through separate Tor circuits—hiding users’ IP addresses, separating their activity and helping them bypass censorship.

The project is still in beta and invites community testing and feedback.
