Internet stop working after I've started ANONSURF

Support Network
1

Hi to all.
I have just installed a fresh Parrot OS Security. All is working perfect apart of Anonsurf which completely disconnect my internet when I start it ON.
I have red a lot of topics here on parrot community and youtube tutorials as well but cannot find any of these solutions working for me.

What version of Parrot are you running? (include version (e.g. 4.6), edition(e.g. Home//KDE/OVA, etc.), and architecture (currently we only support amd64)

Screenshot at 2020-05-13 09-38-37

What method did you use to install Parrot? (Debian Standard / Debian GTK / parrot-experimental)
Parrot Security MATE ISO

Configured to multiboot with other systems? (yes / no)
I have two systems on separate SSD hard drives. Win10 on kingston SSD, Parrot on Goodram SSD (both standalone)

If there are any error messages or relevant logs, post them below:
This is an info after I start a anonsurf as a root
anonsurf_after_start

And this is a message after I run anonsurf status just after starting an anonsurf.
anonsurf_status

Its wired, because anonsurf should start tor automatically. Firewall is off at that point but when I turned it ON and set incoming traffic to allow nothing has changed. Please help me guys with that.

Briefly describe your issue below:
I have a fresh install of parrot security. Haven’t touched a setting, downloaded a package, nothing. I hit start on anonsurf. kill apps, and it says that anonsurf is started and on. but then i check the status and it says it cannot connect to tor? The connection is dead otherwise, It will not let me access a website until i stop anonsurf.

Briefly describe your issue below:
Anonsurf is not opening any onion circles. Used commands: “sudo anonsurf start” and “sudo anonsurf start-bridge”(in case if my country blocking tor). Nothing happens, no internet connection available before anonsurf is stopped. When try to check anonsurf status it stuck for a 5 minutes or so and then give a messages “Unable to connect to tor. Are you sure tor is running?” and “Unable to connect to tor. Maybe it’s running without a ControlPort?”.

May be this could be a solution, but torrc file cannot be overwritten anymore so i can’t check it by my hands.
If there are any error messages or relevant logs, post them below:

It could be error inside the torrc. Please send me torrc in /etc/anonsurf/torrc here. And please try sudo service tor start to see.

Community is slow for me and i always have connection error so if anybody is still online, please contact telegram @dmknght so i can provide live support and live fix

i’ve tried “sudo service tor start” before anonsurf start command and after. It doesn’t help. Could it be port problem(9051 instead of 9050)?

Sorry the command should be sudo tor which can show the error of current tor that can’t start. But let me test on my machine

10

This config works fine for me.

Both can start tor for me and my tests before push anonsurf to repo was just fine. I guess there is something wrong with the hash part but i have to check it later. I’m doing the xfce4 development.

12

No the configuration is as same as old versions.

13

And please pm me in telegram or in Parrot channel of telegram so i can have notifications directly. The community is kinda slow for this kind of fix

14

Sry don’t have access to telegram acc yet. I misinformed you. I’m using 4.9.1 KDE Parrot security. Tor browser working fine for me. “sudo tor” command logs:

Look like the config of anonsurf wasn’t loaded.

19

Oh shit my super bad. The command should be sudo tor -f /etc/anonsurf/torrc which load custom torrc file. There is an error in torrc the hash part. Let me check other torrc again. Sorry my bad.

20

torrc of @noob_admin is good. torrc of @PTester1 has syntax error at last line.
