Official Tor Hidden Service for the Kiwi Farms

[Betonhaus]

Is anybody getting the brave error saying kiwi farms is blocked? It works fine with safari and tor browser.

Do you have this enabled in the privacy and security tab of the settings? I have kiwifarms in my bookmarks, and clicking it launches the site twice but the non-tor page says it's blocked

The guard node on the tor project is there a way to keep it from changing?

I have a nice stable guard, but randomly it goes to some crap one if i open multiple tabs and then requires me to restart tor to get back to the stable one.

The guard node is supposed to stay the same for 2-3 months. There are a few hacks to control it, but doing so seems highly discouraged. Here's what it says about guard nodes https://support.torproject.org/tbb/tbb-2/

The subsequent nodes/relays in the circuit change. For *.onion sites, 1 guard, 2 named nodes and 3 relays. For non-onion sites, 1 guard and 2 named nodes. I bet it is the relays that are the problem. Rather than restart tor, try getting a new circuit ( for the tor browser, click the tor icon, left side of the browser search bar then click new circuit...) and see if that helps. Seems less of a PITA than restarting.

I know that you can set it to pick a specific country or countries for the guard node through this method.

This has security implications, so be forewarned.
edit the following file:
path_to_tor_browser/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Tor/torrc
add the line:
EntryNodes {nl} StrictNodes 1
Change the country code (nl = Netherlands) to whichever country works best for you. If you want to limit it to multiple countries, you can add them:
EntryNodes {nl},{ca},{de} StrictNodes 1

Thanks for the info what ever was going on has stopped. Last two nights if i opened a new tab it would use a different guard for some reason.

I'd like to interject for a moment and say that there is a way to browse KF on Tor in your favorite web browser, even if you don't use Brave. It requires some additional prep work, but in the end you'll be able to visit KF on .onion exactly the same way as if you were browsing it on clearnet.

An instruction on how to do that was already posted on Page 17, I know. The difference here is that this method does not require you to use Vidalia or download any executables from file sharing websites. Every executable here is up-to-date and is from official website of Tor Project.

Now, before we continue, here's something you need to know: I advise against visiting any .onion links other than KF from your normal browser. For general-purpose .onion browsing Tor Browser is still the recommended option, because it provides the least amount of unique identification and browser fingerprinting.
Are you OK with that? Do you just not give a shit? If so...

Spoiler: Here's how it's done

Step 1: Downloading and installing Tor Service:

On Windows:
1. Go to https://www.torproject.org/download/tor/ and download the latest stable release from the "Tor Expert Bundle" table:

2. Unpack the contents of the package into a new folder (I'll use C:\sneed folder for example):

3. In the same directory where tor.exe is located (C:\sneed\Tor in my case) create a blank file called "torrc"

4. Open the "torrc" file with a text editor of your choosing, paste the following code into it:
Log notice file C:\sneed\tor\log.txt DataDirectory C:\sneed\Data GeoIPFile C:\sneed\Data\geoip GeoIPv6File C:\sneed\Data\geoip6

and replace C:\sneed with the full address of the folder where you unpacked the Tor bundle. Save changes.
5. Now we need to install the Tor service, which will read the settings from the "torrc" file. To do that, run command prompt as admin, the use the following command:
tor.exe --service install -options -f "C:\sneed\tor\torrc"
Again, replace C:\sneed before running the command.

6. Wait for a little while (about a minute should be enough), then check the newly created log.txt:


If the file contains the "Bootstrapped 100% (done): Done" line - congrats, Tor service is now operational!
If it's been minutes and there is still no "Bootstrapped 100% (done): Done" line, maybe your ISP is being an asshole and you'll need to connect to Tor using a bridge. More on that later.
On Linux and macOS:
Good instructions are already available here: https://community.torproject.org/onion-services/setup/install/

Step 2: Installing and configuring a proxy client add-on:
What we need to do here is tell your browser that it should connect to any .onion website only through a SOCKS5 proxy that sits on 127.0.0.1:9050 address.
For this example, I'll be using SmartProxy:
1. Download and install SmartProxy:

2. Select "Options", then go to "Proxy Servers". Click on "Add Server":


3. Type in the following:

Then click "Save", then "Save Changes".
4. Go to "smart proxy". Click on "Add Rule":

5. Type in and select the following options:

Then click "Save", then "Save changes", again.
6. Don't forget to enable "Smart proxy" in the add-on:

7. And that's it! Now you can browse .onion links right in your browser as if they were clearnet links!

Note that the same exact instructions apply for SmartProxy for Firefox.

EDIT: Sometimes the connection to KF on Tor might get slow after awhile. In this case, restarting the Tor service usually helps. Step 3 has instructions on how to do that.

(optional) Step 3: Installing and running Tor service with obfs4 bridges:
So, you happen to live in a locked-down shithole, or maybe your ISP is just being a cunt. Regardless, you've waited for minutes, maybe even over an hour, and yet bootstrapping just isn't happening. That means you'll have to connect to Tor using obfs4 bridges. Here's how you can configure Tor service to do that:
On Windows:
1. Stop Tor service with the following command:
tor.exe --service stop

2. Go to https://bridges.torproject.org/bridges/?transport=obfs4 and copy the text that is in the "Here are your bridge lines:" field:

3. Open "torrc" file and add the following code to its end:
ClientTransportPlugin obfs2,obfs3,obfs4,scramblesuit exec C:\sneed\tor\pluggable_transports\obfs4proxy.exe Bridge [PASTE FIRST BRIDGE LINE HERE] Bridge [PASTE SECOND BRIDGE LINE HERE] Bridge [PASTE THIRD BRIDGE LINE HERE] UseBridges 1
And, once again, replace C:\sneed.
The end result should look like this:

4. Restart Tor service using the following command
tor.exe --service start

Done.

On Linux:
1. Stop Tor service

2. Go to https://bridges.torproject.org/bridges/?transport=obfs4 and copy the text that is in the "Here are your bridge lines:" field:

3. Open /etc/tor/torrc with the text manager of your choosing and add the following code to its end:
ClientTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy UseBridges 1 Bridge [PASTE FIRST BRIDGE LINE HERE] Bridge [PASTE SECOND BRIDGE LINE HERE] Bridge [PASTE THIRD BRIDGE LINE HERE]
The end result should look like this:

4. Restart Tor service:

Done. You can check on the bootstrapping progress using the journalctl -exft Tor command:


NOTICE: Sometimes even after doing all of the above bootstrapping is still not happening. This means that this particular set of bridges from BridgeDB is blocked as well. There is a lot of bridges in BridgeDB and sometimes they can be blocked in your location - the more anal your shithole is (and/or the more of a faggot your ISP is) the higher the chances are of this happening. That means you might have to re-do the Step 3 again. Try, try again. Eventually you'll get the working set of bridges.

Where is our Tor-only merchandise? Us loyal niggercattle should be milked on Tor before we return, so at least we get a damn t-shirt.

if you like Chrome, then you can use Brave for Kiwifarms
if you like Firefox, then you can use Tor Browser for Kiwifarms

XenForo doesn't work well in Internet Explorer 11. Are you smoking some K-Meleon shit?

Nah, I just don't wanna run a whole separate browser just to be able to access KF. I already have a dedicated shitposting browser, I don't need another one.
Much less of a drain on computer resources too.

Just close brace when you're not using it?

Admittedly I would like to just have to install a browser function, but the onion network developers don't seem that great at programming applications, and are more paranoid then willing to make the network accessible

Yeah, I'm afraid doing all the shit I listed is currently the only way to add .onion browsing functionality to your browser, where you can open them as if they were clearnet links. And you'll still have to maintain the executables by yourself.
Install Tor Browser and open .onion links there (but now you have to run a whole separate browser for it), or do all the shit I mentioned and have an option to open .onion links right in your browser (but now you have to maintain the executables yourself) - pick your poison.

 

[Kosher Salt]

@IamnottheNSA I mean there's always the option of replacing your shitposting browser with Brave, it shouldn't take more than like 15 minutes max to transfer your bookmarks, passwords, and whatever extensions you need. And then you've got the private window with Tor any time you need it without opening another browser.

always restart your Brave/Tor browser when you can't connect for more than 5-10 minutes; it gets snarled up sometimes and somehow.

But there could also be some sneeDDoS going on.

Tor has been working great for me this week. I'm left to assume this has something to do with everyone on Twitter thinking we died. They declared TTV and a lot of the negative attention disappeared.

In my experience this seems to happen a lot more often with Tor browser than it does with Brave. And when it does happen with Brave, closing the Tor window(s) will usually fix it, without having to restart the entire browser.

Already restarted it, and 10 mins after my comment here, it stopped connecting to KF again until just now

 

[clipartfan92]

Tor Browser has been slow and lagging for the last week for me and I finally quit being stubborn and tried the tor function in Brave. It feels like the site is back to clearnet speeds. I'm willing to set aside my paranoid feelings about Brave if it always works this well, afterall, I'm only browsing kf with it.

 

[Betonhaus]

Enabling the tunnels seems to make it slower, but more reliable. As if each request was being DDetoured to the moon or something, but on a high bandwidth pipe. I only tried the first option as I have no idea what they mean.
