Whomever is and has been behind this is selective with what I can and can't see. I KNOW our electronics are and have been controlled since we moved here January 2014. I know this because at one time "they" were interacting with me on via my desktop. I was asked if "they" could run a d-bus session on another computer I have connected. Not knowing what a d-bus session was "they" gave me a step by step run down on how to do it. I did what "they" asked because it was kind of exciting. Now in retrospect it's more scary than anything else. There are files on my Linux computers that show me what to display if I run a netstat command or nstat command so even when I try to figure things out I'll continue to get the same results every time. Terminal fortune cookies were installed without me installing them. One time upon opening up my terminal the little penguin's thought cloud said this: "I am number 2. You are number 6." Though I know a terminal only takes commands I impulsively typed back within it, "I am not a number. I'm a free man!" Immediately after I typed that in this popped up after my sentence, "I am not a number. I'm a free man-tor!" And it was then that I started going through my folders and files and found everything Tor related. Even some link that told me I was running through a Tor router.On Sun, May 29, 2016 at 12:09 PM, Arjen <arjenvanweelden@gmail.com> wrote:On 05/29/2016 05:28 PM, Percy Blakeney wrote:
Like I stated a few minutes ago, I am and have been running Tor from my

for a while. Before anyone comes down on me for it, you have to
understand what I've been going through with my network. Tor is only
the tip of the iceberg. This is as of today:

The hashes (#) in from of the lines are part of the default inline documentation in the torrc file, and should have no effect because they are comments.
It looks like you or someone with root access installed Tor on your computer. You did not send enough of the torrc file to see if it is configured as an exit. It could just be the default configuration after a "sudo apt-get install tor"...
If you just want to remove Tor from your machine (which runs Debian?), you could just do: sudo apt-get remove tor
However, that might remove any clues as to who installed Tor and why.

The contents of the files and logs might only be readable by root, so using sudo might help to read them.

THERE'S WAY more to the above file but I'm not sure what I should and
shouldn't share on here. As a matter of fact, I'm not sure what half of
this stuff means so I've spent the last few months trying to educate
myself on as much of this as possible. Like I said, I am MORE than
willing to talk to anyone out there who may be able to help.
