Arti is a re-implementation of Tor with a modular structure. The proxy and onion service functions are useful, but not all the capabilities of the C implementation are present.

Installation and configuration focus on technical use. Check the supported protocols and restrictions for your app.

Get more from Arti

A Tor implementation as part of an app requires you to check the supported features and interfaces. Arti and the classic Tor implementation do not have to offer the same possibilities in every detail. Therefore, choose based on your concrete use scenario.

Test connection and error handling before trusting in a larger system. Keep configuration and dependencies identifiable in your project. A new version number is a reason to check compatibility, especially when you integrate Arti into your own software.

Version and updates

For Arti, check the version number of the release you are actually installing. The versions for Linux, macOS, Windows do not have to run the same.

Our verdict

Arti is interesting if you use Tor in a technical project or want to deploy the new implementation. Start with the documented proxy configuration and test traffic of your app. Do not replace an existing Tor installation without a comparison of required functions. For daily browsing, a complete browser package offers a better defined working method.
