<h2>Closing a Tor circuit from <i>Onion Circuits</i></h2>

You can now close a given Tor circuit from the *Onion Circuits* interface. This can help replace a particularly slow Tor circuit or troubleshoot issues on the Tor network.

To close a Tor circuit:

[[Connect to the Tor network.|doc/anonymous_internet/tor]]

Choose [[!img lib/symbolic/tor-connected.png alt="Tor status menu" link="no" class="symbolic"]]&nbsp;▸ **Open Onion Circuits** in the top navigation bar.

Right-click (on Mac, click with two fingers) on the circuit that you want to close.

Choose **Close this circuit** in the shortcut menu.

When you close a circuit that is being used by an application, your application gets disconnected from this destination service.

For example, when you close a circuit while <i>Tor Browser</i> is downloading a file, the download fails.

If you connect to the same destination server again, Tor uses a different circuit to replace the circuit that you closed.

For example, if you download the same file again, Tor uses a new circuit.

<h2>Addition of <span class="code">sq-keyring-linter</span></h2>

At the request of people who use [SecureDrop](https://securedrop.org/) to provide secure whistleblowing platforms across the world, we added the [`sq-keyring-linter`](https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/rust-sequoia-keyring-linter) package. `sq-keyring-linter` improves the cryptographic parameters of PGP keys stored in their airgapped machines.
