This is an experimental, + Linux-only feature to provide defense-in-depth against unknown + attacks. To try turning it on, set "Sandbox 1" in your torrc + file. This is an experimental feature, however, and some things + may break, so please be ready to report bugs. We hope to add + support for better sandboxing in the future, + including more fine-grained filters, better division of + responsibility, and support for more platforms.
