Troubleshooting

This page collects common issues encountered when hosting or accessing flyers.

Tor connectivity

• Ensure Tor is allowed through your firewall. On systems using ufw you may need to run sudo ufw allow tor.
• Some networks block Tor entirely. If you cannot reach onion services, try connecting over a different network or use a Tor bridge.

Firewall rules

• If voxvera serve fails to start OnionShare, verify that outbound connections on ports 9001 and 80 are permitted.
• Corporate or university firewalls can block the hidden service ports required by Tor.

SELinux

• On SELinux-enabled distributions you may see permission denied errors when OnionShare writes to the host directory.
• Run sudo chcon -Rt svirt_sandbox_file_t host or disable SELinux enforcement for the folder.

If problems persist, consult the OnionShare and Tor documentation for more advanced configuration tips.
