That's actually the newest version of the default torrc. I update the
date and version at the top when I change the file, but I try not to
change the file often because every time it changes some of the packages
(e.g. Debian) need to interact with the user, to ask if they want to
keep their old torrc version or move to the new version.

You only need a new torrc if your current one causes Tor to stop
working or emit warning messages.

Do I need an updated .torrc file?

2010-11-22 Thread Matthew

 Hello,

My .torrc file says:

"## Configuration file for a typical Tor user
## Last updated 12 April 2009 for Tor 0.2.1.14-rc.
## (May or may not work for much older or much newer versions of Tor.) "

Do I need to get a new .torrc version?  I have had a look online and cannot 
find a template.  I am using the latest version (0.2.1.26) so see no reason 
to install from scratch.


Any suggestions?  Thanks.
