Again, some time has passed since the initial release of TorBox v.0.5.1<\/a>. Even if we already started to work on TorBox v.0.5.2, we decided to release an updated image of TorBox v.0.5.1 due to some critical fixes and a new tor version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This version is based on Raspberry Pi OS \u201cBullseye\u201d lite (64 bit)<\/a> with Linux Kernel 5.15.61<\/a> and Tor version 0.4.7.10. It contains several major fixes to reduce memory pressure on relays and possible side-channel. It also includes a major bugfix related to congestion control to reduce memory pressure on relays. Finally, another major bugfix is related to Vanguard L2 layer node selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One bug in the initial release was that TorBox would not automatically add a bridge when that option was chosen in the Countermeasure sub-menu<\/a>. This problem is in connection with mechanize 0.4.8<\/a>. For that reason, we went back to version 0.4.7. Also, bridges_get.py<\/code> failed because the HTML<\/code> generated by https:\/\/bridges.torproject.org\/bridges?transport=obfs4<\/a> has changed. To fix it, we added the patch from lockcda (see issue #173<\/a> on GitHub). Also, the way GitHub reports the available tor versions changed and broke the installation and update scripts. We fixed the affected scripts. Also, we removed the tor-specific entries in torbox.run<\/code> because of the complexity, it doesn\u2019t give an added value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the links to the new updated TorBox v.0.5.1:

How to update an old TorBox v.0.5.1 (19.07.2022) installation?<\/strong>
You can perform the following tasks to update an older TorBox v.0.5.1 (19.07.2022) installation. This shouldn\u2019t alter your custom-made configurations \u2013 however, I don\u2019t promise anything (if needed, make a backup!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Please, make sure that TorBox has Internet connectivity.<\/li>
  2. First, update the TorBox menu in the Update and Maintenance sub-menu<\/a> (entry 5) to immediately benefit from the bugfixes.<\/li>
  3. Press ESC until you have left the Torbox menu and find yourself back at the command line. Here use the following commands for
