I used TOR at work once, to download some RPMs. Corp IT had a fucking meltdown

I can't imagine why

Why would you download RPMs from a browser, to a work PC, and do they use RHEL?

Some of our servers used RHEL, and were airgapped, so I had to use TOR because they blocked the site (rpm.pbone I think)and then sneakernet that shit.

I worked in security and trained all our staff on how to use Tor. Good data hygiene is important around the office.

Also Onion Share is the best way to securely share large sensitive files between users

Hmm, no Onionshare is for anonymity, Wormhole or Syncthing are good for security, anything AES basically. You are simply using random Tor servers to share files withing a company...
