The #tor-project channel is where Tor people discuss and coordinate daily Tor work. It has fewer members than #tor and is more focused on the work at hand. You are also welcome to join this channel. To access #tor-project, your nickname (nick) must be registered and verified.

Here's how to reach #tor-project and other registered channels.

Register your nickname

1. Log onto #tor. See How can I chat with Tor Project teams?

2. Then, click on the word "Status" at the top left of the screen.

3. In the window at the bottom of the page, type: /msg nickserv REGISTER yournewpassword youremailaddress

4. Hit enter.

If all goes well, you will receive a message that you are registered.

The system may register you as your nick_ instead of your nick.

If so, just go with it but remember you are user_ and not user.

Every time you log on to IRC, to identify your registered nick, type:

/nick yournick

/msg nickserv IDENTIFY YourPassWord

How to verify your nickname

After registering your nickname, to gain access to the #tor-project and other protected channels, your nickname must be verified.

1. Go to https://services.oftc.net/ and follow the steps in the 'To verify your account' section

2. Go back to the IRC webpage where you are logged in and type:

   /msg nickserv checkverify

3. Smelltu á ENTER.

4. If all is well, you will receive a message that says:

*!NickServ*checkverify

Usermodechange: +R

!NickServ- Successfully set +R on your nick.

Your nick is verified!

Now, to join #tor-project, you can just type:

/join #tor-project og smelltu á Enter.

You will be allowed into the channel. If so, Congratulations!

However, if you get stuck, you can ask for help in the #tor channel.

You can toggle back and forth between channels by clicking on the different channel names at the top left of the IRC window.

For a long time, the Tor community has been running many day-to-day activities using the IRC network known as OFTC. IRC has worked out well for us, and our community on IRC has been evolving over the years with new people joining in and new channels appearing for specific needs in the organization.

Matrix bridge

The Tor community is opening up its day-to-day conversations by bridging our IRC community to the Matrix network. For regular Tor users, it means that you can chat with us using a friendly App like Element. The #tor:matrix.org room or the #tor IRC channel are connected: whichever platform you chose, your message will be shared on both platforms.

To join the conversation with Tor contributors on Matrix, you need a Matrix account. Several providers can get you one. One of these is the Matrix.org Foundation, which allows people to register an account for free. You can register an account on app.element.io.

Once you have a Matrix account, you can either join the Tor Matrix Space to browse the Tor rooms, or directly join the #tor:matrix.org user support room.

OFTC IRC network

Alternatively, if you want to use IRC you can use OFTC's web IRC client:

1. Open OFTC webchat

2. Fill in the blanks:

   NICKNAME: Anything you want, but choose the same nickname (nick) every time you use IRC to talk to people on Tor. If your nick is already being used, you will get a message from the system and you should choose another nick.

   SPJALLRÁS: #tor

3. Smelltu á Enter

Congratulations! You're on IRC.

After a few seconds, you will automatically enter #tor, which is a chatroom with Tor developers, relay operators and other community members. There are some random people in #tor as well.

You can ask questions in the empty bar at the bottom of the screen. Please, don't ask to ask, just ask your question.

People may be able to answer right away, or there may be a bit of a delay (some people are listed on the channel but are away from their keyboards and record channel activities to read later).

If you want to chat with someone specific, start your comment with their nick and they will typically receive a notification that someone is trying to contact them.

OFTC often doesn't allow people to use their webchat over Tor. For this reason, and because many people end up preferring it anyway, you should also consider using an IRC client.

Tor reiðir sig á stuðning notenda og sjálfboðaliða víðsvegar um heiminn við að bæta hugbúnaðinn og allt það sem styður hann, þannig að svörun frá þér getur haft umtalsvert gildi fyrir okkur (og alla notendur Tor).

Við fylgjumst með öllum vandamálum sem tengjast Tor-vafranum í verkskráningu Tor-vafrans. Vandamál sem tengjast vefsvæðunum okkar ætti að tilkynna á villuskrásetjaranum fyrir vefina.

Tölvupóstur

Send us an email to frontdesk@torproject.org.

Settu í efnislínu tölvupóstsins hvað það sé sem þú sért að tilkynna. Því nákvæmari sem efnislínan er (t.d. "Næ ekki að tengjast", "Umsögn um vefsvæði", "Umsögn um Tor-vafrann, "Ég þyrfti brú"), því auðveldara er fyrir okkur að skilja um hvað málið snýst. Stundum fáum við tölvupóst án efnislína; slíkir póstar eru merktir sem ruslpóstur og við munum ekki sjá þá.

For the fastest response, please write in English, Spanish, and/or Portuguese if you can. Ef ekkert þessara tungumála hentar þér, ættirðu að skrifa á einhverju tungumáli sem þú átt auðvelt með að tjá þig, en um leið hafa í huga að við verðum lengur að svara því við myndum þurfa aðstoð við að þýða um hvað málið snýst.
