en	Closing a Tor circuit from Onion Circuits

en	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.

en	[[!img close_circuit.png link="no" alt=""]]

en	To close a Tor circuit:

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

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

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

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

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

en	For example, when you close a circuit while Tor Browser is downloading a file, the download fails.

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

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

en	Addition of sq-keyring-linter

en	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.
