+Tor Help Desk Roundup
+---------------------
+Users have asked the help desk for support connecting to IRC through Tor.
+There are some guides on sending IRC traffic through Tor on the wiki [XXX][XXX].
+However, it will not matter if the IRC client is correctly configured if the
+if the intended IRC network blocks all Tor users. For example, users trying
+to connect to synIRC through Tor will receive a message telling them their computer
+is part of a botnet.
+
+Users will occasionally ask for support using Tor on ChromeOS. ChromeOS is based
+on Linux, so it is theoretically possible to run the Linux Tor Browser Bundle on
+ChromeOS. In practice, the Chromebook prevents users from executing new software
+on their computers without putting their Chromebook into developer mode, and making
+other modifications to their device [XXX]. Anyone who has successfully run the Tor
+Browser Bundle on ChromeOS is invited to describe their experiences on the Tor Project
+wiki. As of this writing, there is no documented way of running Tor Browser Bundle on
+ChromeOS.
