This happens before I even touch the keyboard to surf the web via Tor Browser. It also occurs later on during the day/night usually with the same error message but sometimes with 2 - 4
times the amount of error listing.
When I search for this .onion some pages come up with “Crimeflare / cloudflare-tor” but without further explanation.
What is this and why is it occurring?
If it helps any, I’m connecting directly and not using bridges, VPN, or anything else. I’ve also used different Guards but it doesn’t seem to matter. I have no custom settings in torrc / torrc-defaults files (except once, to reveal the source of this .onion error being ‘scrubbed’).
Indeed! This is why I thought to post about it as it seemed rather strange. Thanks very much for the links and information!
Moreover, I’ve noticed a few other odd entries in my Tor logs, including one request to access my local system, which was denied. Things got weird after one particular update, I may simply do a clean reinstall of Tor Browser and see if these .onion errors stop. I may test TB alpha version as well to see whether this is only an issue with stable on my system.
