Hello! I followed all the instructions. In the tor.list file, I wrote the Operating System codename virginia . I added the gpg key. When I run “sudo apt update” I get an error:
Ошб:19 https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org virginia Release
404 Not Found [IP: 204.8.99.144 443]
E: Репозиторий «https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org virginia Release» не содержит файла Release.
N: Обновление из этого репозитория нельзя выполнить безопасным способом, поэтому по умолчанию он отключён.
N: Информацию о создании репозитория и настройках пользователя смотрите в справочной странице apt-secure(8).
What could be the reason? I use VPN
OS Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon
Virginia is Linux Mint’s release code name. Mint 21.3 is based on Ubuntu 22.04 “jammy”, that is the release name you should use. Here is the release directory.
Noino, thank you very much! The issue with installing the repository seems to have been resolved. But a problem has appeared - when entering sudo apt update the following appears:
Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org focal InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'
Although I have written the amd64 architecture in the tor.list file. What should I do with it?
And if I can ask you another question, then…
Next, when I run “sudo systemctl start tor” and “sudo systemctl status tor” I get:
● tor.service - Anonymizing overlay network for TCP (multi-instance-master)

Is Tor service working for me?
I have VPN enabled now because Tor is blocked in my region. (I was planning to install bridges as well) I tried enabling proxy server in the system, specified address 127.0.0.1 and port 9050, but there is no connection. Could you give me some advice or direction where I can find the answer to the question?
Can you post the complete contents of our tor.list file? Are you starting each line like this: deb [arch=amd64 ...] ... and why does the distro code name say “focal”, not “jammy”? Also it seems you are using the http scheme instead of https.
The output from your sudo systemctl status tor command looks fine. You can check tor is running in various ways, pidof tor, for example. Be aware that this will report the pid of any Tor Browser tor processes too.
Can you post a screenshot of your Network Proxy settings? If you haven’t changed your torrc prefs that proxy host & port address should be fine. Make sure in your network proxy settings you are specifying a Socks Host and not, for example, an HTTPS proxy. How are you checking your connection?
I apologize, I inadvertently took the text from the instructions and did not replace “focal” with “jammy”. I have corrected it now. The tor.list file has the following contents:
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/deb.torproject.org-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org jammy main
deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/deb.torproject.org-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org jammy main
deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/deb.torproject.org-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org jammy main
deb-src [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/deb.torproject.org-keyring.gpg] https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org jammy main
Now after the command “sudo apt update” comes out:
W: Цель Sources (main/source/Sources) настроена несколько раз: в /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor.list:2 и в /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor.list:4

N: Пропускается получение настроенного файла «main/binary-i386/Packages», так как репозиторий «https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org jammy InRelease» не поддерживает архитектуру «i386»
Is this abnormal?
And as for connecting Tor, my mistake again: I previously, in Tor, installed from the system package, and then deleted, wrote bridges in the torrc file. And they remained there, although I deleted the package. Now I have removed these changes, and Tor connects perfectly through VPN as a proxy server. Later I will deal with bridges, but now I am very glad that, in principle, the Tor service works for me.
The first 2 lines in your tor.list are unnecessary and it looks like those warnings are of duplicate entries. Remove the first 2 lines and you should be OK, удачи.
