installing tor-0.3.1.9

[Mike-Mike-Mike]

I have installed a tor relay, my question is:

Atlas Tor https://atlas.torproject.org/ , tells me that my version Tor 0.3.1.7 on FreeBSD no longer recommended is.

How can I install the newer version of tor --> tor-0.3.1.9

I'm using FreeBSD 11.1

Thank you in advance

Hello, Mike, and welcome to the FreeBSD forums!

Do the following:
# mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
# cp /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/

Open /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf and edit the 11 line

FreeBSD: {
[b]  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest",[/b]
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}

Then execute:
# pkg update -f
# pkg upgrade tor

It'll upgrade tor and change your pkg repository from "quarterly" to "latest",
tor version in latest repository for now is 0.3.1.9.

Also it is possible to update ports tree, and then to rebuild tor, to update it to 0.3.1.9.
To do it, do the following:
# portsnap fetch extract
It should fetch and extract current ports tree.
(After this it is possible to update ports tree just with # portsnap fetch update.)
Then "cd" into security/tor
# cd /usr/ports/security/tor
and execute
# make deinstall install clean

To check if your installed ports are up to date, to check if newer versions are exist in ports tree,
use % pkg version -vl '<' (/usr/ports/ index should exist, use portsnap as written above).

I followed your instructions, everything worked.
Tor is on the cutting edge.

Thank you very much
