I'm getting a file not found error for this URL: https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/apt/torproject-keyring.gpg

wget -qO- https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89.asc | gpg --dearmor | tee /usr/share/keyrings/tor-archive-keyring.gpg >/dev/null

[saltedlolly]

Thanks.

Typically, GPG keys are provided in ASCII armored format (hence the dearmor flag), which use the .asc extension, rather than .gpg for the armored key file. It seems like there might be a typo or an outdated link in the URL provided here by Jan.

Thanks for typing this update Jan! I have 2 running now. Will add a few more. Appreciate the instructions!
