I downloaded TBB version 4.5.3 for GNU/Linux and extracted it on OpenBSD version 5.7 (current version which is basically a daily snapshot.)

I unzipped TBB on the said OS and after I cd to the directory where the contents of TBB had been extracted, I typed the following command:

./tbb    -v

and many error messages appeared.

Why does the "Download Tor" page claim that TBB is vaild for *BSD operating systems when it does not work on OpenBSD 5.7?

I do not have a specific answer, there seems to be several issues, there is however a project website that's trying to change this.

https://torbsd.github.io/

The Tor BSD Diversity Project (TDP) is an initiative seeking to extend the use of the BSD Unix operating systems in the Tor public anonymity network.

They have a repo for a tbb ports package:

https://github.com/torbsd/openbsd-ports

They do also state in their faq:

“Doesn’t the Tor web site download page list a Tor Browser Bundle for GNU/Linux, that also supports ‘Unix, BSD’?”

"That is true, but unfortunately inaccurate. The current Tor download does not work on any of the BSDs for a variety of reasons."

  • Thanks very much for TorBSD's faq "That is true, but unfortunately inaccurate. The current Tor download does not work on any of the BSDs for a variety of reasons.".
