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://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-15024/

The results are in: Our first crowdfunding round has raised more than $200k for projects working across privacy, censorship circumvention, and secure communications: https://blog.torproject.org/funding-internet-freedom-together/

Together, we’ve raised $1,200,200 during our end-of-year fundraising campaign. These funds will fuel our ongoing fight for internet freedom. As our Executive Director, Isabela, said:

“We're continuing with a clear vision: make it easier for people to exercise their right to privacy and access to information with tools that keep us connected, and make it harder for powerful adversaries to break that connection.”

🇮🇷 Update: Brief returns of internet access are driving spikes in Snowflake usage. Please help us run more proxies if you can. ❄️ snowflake.torproject.org

The easiest ways to run Snowflake is by using Tor Browser, Orbot, or installing the browser add on in your current browser. Extra capacity helps people in Iran stay connected when the network comes back online.

For the past three years, we've been working on tools and protocols to monitor the health of the Tor network. 🩺 This work aims to strengthen the Tor network's resilience and resistance to relay attacks. These tools recently underwent a third-party audit, and here are the results! https://blog.torproject.org/code-audit-network-health-tools/

Human rights are upheld by people, communities, and technologies that adapt to a changing world. Here's what that looks like for Tor as we head into the next year. https://blog.torproject.org/advancing-digital-rights-in-2026/
