I can't use Tor. I'm using an ISP via WiFi in my local town and cannot access some of my favorite .onion addresses. My usual method is that I have profiles in Firefox which allow me to choose to use Firefox incognito before it even begins. I hit alt+F2 and type torify firefox. Then I choose the incognito profile I've setup and then head on over to a .onion address. With this new WiFi network, it appears that nothing is getting through to the Tor network.

  • This sounds more like a problem with the network rather than Ubuntu

  • Can you access the hidden service of the Tor project: idnxcnkne4qt76tg.onion

    Are you able to access non-Tor sites on the torified versionof firefox? e.g. BBC, CNN, etc? Do you encounter any error messages either in Tor logs or displayed in Firefox?

If Tor is being blocked, your Tor instance may not actually be connected to the network. You can review your Tor logs (usually /var/log/tor) to see if it's properly created a circuit.
