The bundle provides parts that allow you to rotate and configure Tor yourself. You must then have an app correctly referred to the proxy. An initiated Tor process does not automatically mean that all your computer's traffic runs via Tor.

Check configuration, logging and access rights before running the component for a long time. Keep the bundle updated and understand the role of the included components. For ordinary browsing, a pre-designed browser environment is usually easier to manage.

Version history

15.0.23 (Tor 0.4.9.12) 15 Sep 2026

You get the Expert Bundle from the 15.0.23 edition series. The included Tor network service remains version 0.4.9.12.

The package number has been updated to 15.0.23. This is not a new version of the Tor network service itself.
The Expert Bundle includes Tor and associated network components for your own configurations, without a browser. Browser changes from Tor Browser 15.0.23 are therefore not new browser features in this package.

Our verdict

The Expert Bundle suits administrators and developers who deliberately include Tor in an existing environment. Check the route and DNS handling by app. For just private surfing, Tor Browser is easier to use correctly. The single package does not automatically take over the browser settings and their shielding.
