Has anyone gotten the Retroshare App Image to work with Tails? I feel like I'm close. After I register and the app tries to connect to a retroshare node, I get a pop up with a hidden address and an onion address, but also says "Tor status: offline". But I'm not offline. The hidden address is 9878:127.0.0.1: 27325; It seems like the port should be 9050, but there doesn't seem to be a way to change it.
to use retroshare-tor, simply do NOT start tails-tor on OS startup.
To run 2 instances of tor and avoid conflict:
Some hacking is needed for tails persistant storage also.
How can I not start tails-tor on OS startup? Tails is the OS. Do you mean don't connect to a network after Tails boots to the home screen?
Which Tails folder/directory would I run those 2 commands in?
Retroshare has its own built in tor instance, you do not need to run it on tails. Retroshare needs to create an onion address because it needs incoming connections so it may by conflicting with tails.
Just run it on a normal OS and select (Hidden Node over Tor) and it will take care of everything for you.
