# Tor Browser Compatibility - Implementation Summary
2+
3+
**Date**: 2024-12-25
4+
**Status**: ✅ Complete
5+
**Issue**: #826 - Audit and fix SYNCRO dashboard for Tor Browser
6+
7+
## Changes Made
8+
9+
### 1. **CSP Header Updates**
10+
**File**: `client/middleware.ts`
11+
12+
#### Change
13+
- **Removed**: `upgrade-insecure-requests` directive from CSP header
14+
- **Reason**: .onion addresses use HTTP by design, not HTTPS. Forcing upgrade-insecure-requests would break .onion access.
15+
- **Documentation**: Added explanation in code comments
16+
17+
#### Security Impact
18+
- ✅ Still maintains strict default-src and script-src policies
19+
- ✅ HTTPS still enforced for external API calls (Stripe, Supabase, Stellar)
20+
- ✅ Allows HTTP connections for .onion mirror (if implemented)
21+
22+
### 2. **Tor Detection Utility**
23+
**File**: `client/lib/tor-detection.ts` (NEW)
24+
25+
#### Features
26+
- `isTorBrowser()`: Detects if running in Tor Browser via user agent and .onion domain
27+
- `isExtensionAvailable()`: Checks if browser extensions are available
28+
- `isFreighterAvailable()`: Specifically detects Freighter wallet
29+
- `getTorCompatibilityInfo()`: Returns full compatibility status
30+
- `torCompatibleFetch()`: Fetch wrapper for .onion address fallback
31+
32+
#### Usage
33+
```typescript
34+
import { isTorBrowser, getTorCompatibilityInfo } from '@/lib/tor-detection';
35+
36+
const info = getTorCompatibilityInfo();
37+
console.log(info.isTorBrowser); // true if running in Tor Browser
38+
console.log(info.knownLimitations); // ['Freighter wallet...', ...]
39+
```
40+
41+
### 3. **Freighter Wallet Integration Updates**
42+
43+
#### File: `client/lib/stellar-wallet.ts`
44+
- Added Tor Browser detection import
45+
- Enhanced error message in `connect()` method
46+
- Shows helpful message when Freighter unavailable in Tor Browser
47+
48+
**Before**:
49+
```
50+
Error: Freighter wallet not installed
51+
```
52+
53+
**After** (in Tor Browser):
54+
```
55+
Error: Freighter wallet not installed. Freighter wallet extensions are not supported
56+
in Tor Browser. Please use a regular browser or contact support for alternative
57+
payment methods.
58+
```
59+
60+
#### File: `client/components/modals/verify-wallet-modal.tsx`
61+
- Added Tor Browser detection with useEffect
62+
- Shows yellow warning alert when in Tor Browser
63+
- Enhanced error messages with context-aware help text
64+
- Users see clear limitation messaging with support contact info
65+
66+
**New Warning**:
67+
```
68+
⚠️ Tor Browser Detected
69+
The Freighter wallet extension may not work in Tor Browser due to
70+
extension restrictions. You can still use other methods to connect.
71+
```
72+
73+
### 4. **Comprehensive Documentation**
74+
**File**: `docs/TOR_BROWSER_COMPATIBILITY.md` (NEW - 400+ lines)
75+
76+
#### Includes
77+
- ✅ Overview of Tor Browser security features
78+
- ✅ Full compatibility status matrix
79+
- ✅ Known limitations with workarounds
80+
- ✅ CSP header configuration explanation
81+
- ✅ Testing checklist (all passed)
82+
- ✅ Privacy considerations
83+
- ✅ Recommended security practices
84+
- ✅ Troubleshooting guide
85+
- ✅ Future enhancement roadmap
86+
- ✅ Support contact information
87+
88+
### 5. **Documentation Navigation**
89+
**File**: `docs/mint.json`
90+
91+
#### Change
92+
- Added new "Privacy & Security" section to navigation
93+
- Links to Tor Browser compatibility guide
94+
- Visible in main documentation site
95+
96+

The codebase contains no WebRTC, fingerprinting, or other privacy-invasive APIs that would conflict with Tor Browser's security model.
242+
243+
**Status**: ✅ **READY FOR DEPLOYMENT**
