Update to latest tor-win32-0.4.2.7 #35

Closed JohnPlanetary closed 2 years ago

It may be a nice idea to keep tor files updated to the latest version available, currently: tor-win32-0.4.2.7, available from the web site: https://www.torproject.org/download/tor/ "Windows Expert Bundle".

One of the problems with this project is keeping up with the latest Tor. I'd prefer to only do it for security fixes only, although I do not keep an eye on these things.

Btw, you can manually upgrade by replacing the Tor binary files in the Tallow home directory. This should work provided the Tor interface/API has not changed in newer versions.

Err… By the way, after installing Tallow 2.0, I get “Failed to open WinDivert filter: The system cannot find the path specified” after launching a shortcut on the Windows 7 desktop. And after trying with a fresh profile, I get another error: “Failed to open WinDivert fitler: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file (bla-bla) signed incorrectly or damaged (bla-bla)”.

Windows 7 is past its end-of-life so is not supported anymore. However, these kinds of issues can sometimes be solved by replacing the driver files with a different version, downloaded from here: https://github.com/basil00/Divert/releases/tag/v2.2.0

That's not the problem. The WinDivert.dll can copy the .sys-file(s) to the wrong place. I've seen that running a 32-bit program, that a WinDivert64.sys gets copied to the current directory! And perhaps the CurrentControlSet node gets updated with a wrong file-name. It's rather messy IMHO.
