Please make a test connection to tor SOCKS port as part as Tor Launcher

It frequently happens that some anti-virus or firewall software installed on the user's system will prevent the browser to talk to the tor daemon through 127.0.0.1:9150.

This makes the following user experience:

  1. User starts Tor Browser and click “Connect”.
  2. Tor Browser says it's connected to the Tor network.
  3. Tor Browser display happy “Congratulations”.
  4. User tries browsing some website but they all time out.

It would be great to detect the problem earlier and tell the user to fix their firewall/anti-virus thingy before support has to tell them.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have admin enable hashed storage. More information
