TorStatus Project

TorStatus is an application that was developed by Joseph B. Kowalski during 2006 and 2007 to accurately display the status of the Tor^TM network. He recently decided to stop hosting and working on it, and it is now run by the community. The current lead developer is Kasimir Gabert.

TorStatus is an application which shows the current status of all of the routers on the Tor network at any given time. More information can be found about Tor software at http://www.torproject.org.

TorStatus 4.0 has been released! There are many changes which have taken place, the most noticeable of which is a greatly modified interface. More information can be found in the CHANGES file. You may download the latest version here.

Update: Please see the troubleshooting section. There is a problem with the default install that is easy to fix.

SVN may also be used to download TorStatus. The following will check out the latest branch release (version 4.0):

and the trunk version can be downloaded by the following:

Troubleshooting

With a clean install of a 4.0 release, the mirror updating will not work. A row needs to be added to the Mirrors table, with the id value of 1. This has been fixed for the next version, which should hopefully be released soon.

If you are running TorStatus, but not a DNSEL server, and updating begins to fail, please change your table engine for DNSEL_INACT from MEMORY to MyISAM. (Execute the following command: ALTER TABLE `DNSEL_INACT` ENGINE = MYISAM )
