This is a guide to using Tornado Cash after the 8th August crisis, when the OFAC decided to sanction the organisation and the smart contracts. This led to a widespread wave of censorship from middleware service providers, resulting in users being vulnerable and unable to access their assets.
_The source code for the community build can be found on [the offical community git](https://development.tornadocash.community/tornadocash/classic-ui). For a tutorial on how to audit the changes [see Micah's guide](https://notes.ethereum.org/@GW1ZUbNKR5iRjjKYx6_dJQ/Bk8zsJ9xj)_.
**Browser history must be enabled when using TOR browser for event caching**.
It is now possible to access the builds via onion hidden services with the community resolver (3th.ws), if there is no response see the [network status page](https://status.torproject.org/) for possible disruption.
* If you want to deposit you may have to change your wallet RPC, as most providers have censored the smart contracts. One of these providers is Infura, which Metamask uses by default.
* Try searching for a working endpoint on [Chainlist](https://chainlist.org/), which could take multiple attempts (take note of the ChainID for network configuration). An example of how to change your RPC provider for MetaMask is shown below.
> Why do I keep recieving the error `Failed to fetch relayers`?
* This error is either related to a poor connection or a result of no available relayers on your network. It usually can be solved by refreshing.
> Why do I keep recieving the error `Failed to fetch proving keys`?
* This error is either related to a poor connection, it usually can be solved by refreshing or changing VPN location for better latency.
> Why do I keep recieving the error `Failed to fetch all deposit events` when trying to withdraw?
* This error is related to a poor connection or using a censored RPC endpoint. To resolve this either:
* change VPN location for better latency
* try a new browser or method of access
* configure the application RPC configuration to an alternative
> Why can't make a deposit from my wallet?
* Most RPCs censor transactions to the protocol and governance since the OFAC sanctions, you need to configure your wallet RPC to a uncensored endpoint.
