<h3><a class="anchor" href="#SupportMail">How can I get an answer to my
Tor support mail?</a></h3>
<p>There is no official support for Tor. Your best bet is to try the following:
<ol>
<li>Read through this <a href="<page docs/faq>">FAQ</a>.</li>
<li>Read through the <a href="<page docs/documentation>">documentation</a>.</li>
<li>Read through the <a
href="http://archives.seul.org/or/talk">OR-TALK Archives</a> and
see if your question is already answered.</li>
<li>Join our <a href="irc://irc.oftc.net#tor">irc channel</a> and
state the issue and wait for help.</li>
<li>Send an email to tor-assistants at torproject.org. These are
volunteers who may be able to help you but you may not get a response
for days.</li>
</ol>
<p>
Many people send the Tor developers mail privately, or send mail to
our internal <a href="<page about/contact>">lists</a>, with questions about their
specific setup &mdash; they can't get their firewall working right,
they can't configure Polipo correctly, or so on. Sometimes our
volunteers can answer these mails, but typically they need to spend
most of their time on development tasks that will benefit more people.
This is especially true if your question is already covered in the <a
href="<page docs/documentation>">documentation</a> or on this FAQ.
</p>
<p>
So if we don't answer your mail, first check the <a href="<page
docs/documentation>">documentation</a> page, along with this FAQ,
to make sure your question isn't already answered. Then read <a
href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html">"How to ask
questions the smart way"</a>. If this doesn't help you, note that we
have <a href="<page docs/documentation>#Support">an IRC channel</a> where you
can ask your questions (but if they are still open-ended, ill-formed,
or not about Tor, you likely won't get much help there either). Lastly,
people on the <a href="<page docs/documentation>#MailingLists">or-talk
mailing list</a> may be able to provide some hints for you, if
others have experienced your problems too. Be sure to look over <a
href="http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/">the archives</a> first.
</p>
<p>
Another strategy is to <a href="<page docs/tor-doc-relay>">run a Tor
relay for a while</a>, and/or <a href="<page donate/donate>">donate money</a>
<a href="<page getinvolved/volunteer>">or time</a> to the effort. We're more likely
to pay attention to people who have demonstrated interest and commitment
to giving back to the Tor community.
</p>
<p>
If you find your answer, please stick around on the IRC channel or the
mailing list and answer questions from others.
