  • Status changed from New to Needs Validation
  • Target version set to Tails_4.7

I think that we should remove the entire header of our torrc as it is not accurate and possibly confusing for our users.

Done in f77b6fd043.

Thank you both!

I have:

  • transplanted the branch onto stable: the risk here is basically nonexistent so let’s integrate this without waiting for our next “major” release in September
  • committed more clean up of outdated comments in torrc
