Patrick:
I don’t think these instruction prevent Tor over Tor. There should not be Tor bootstrap success in Debian VM.
Good point.
Prevent Tor over Tor for Tor Browser by Tor Browser only by settings. Only for Tor Browser’s internal Tor.
This is not a stronger (but still non-perfect) prevention like anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor . So installing torbrowser-launcher (Tor Browser Advanced Topics ) will lead to Tor over Tor since this is using system-tor i.e. the debian tor package.
So Tor Browser Advanced Topics is short sighted on that very subject. Not keeping in mind the wider context of Tor over Tor by system-tor and Anonymize Other Operating Systems .
Wiki enhancements welcome. If worse comes to worse just a link to the most related/first post in this thread.
To prevent system-tor from starting. (most of the popular Linux distros use systemd)
sudo systemctl mask tor
Now:
sudo systemctl status tor@default
● tor@default.service - Anonymizing overlay network for TCP
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/tor@default.service; static; vendor prese
Drop-In: /lib/systemd/system/tor@default.service.d
└─30_qubes.conf
Active: inactive (dead)
And ps should only return grep tor
ps aux | grep tor
user 1053 0.0 0.0 12724 948 pts/1 S+ 20:22 0:00 grep tor
I’ll update Tor Browser Advanced Topics .

Done!

Didn’t think ps aux | grep tor was needed for testing since system-tor is disabled. Are there any other tests needed?

Could you please mention that any upgrade of system-tor or TBB may break this?
Could you please move all of it to Anonymize Other Operating Systems and just leave a link? Reason: at the moment documentation is split by technical component but from the user’s point of view it’s better to have documentation is arranged by topic they’re currently interested in.
Also since the system-tor advice applies to Anonymize Other Operating Systems whether using TBB or not.
Advisable anyhow. The implementation on how system-tor is started is likely to change in future. (They want to improve multi-instance Tor systemd setups.)

No problem. I’ll have this completed a little later on today.

Done. I’ll have to double check that links are functional once edits are pushed.
Removed and added links .

One question. How to get CodeSelect to work correctly when a pipe " | " is used in the command?
ps aux | grep tor
(only shows) ps aux. So I had to use </pre.>
