tor signal reload -> no more connections possible
Summary
After reloading TOR configuration by sending signal RELOAD (HUP) to control port no further connections are possible.
Steps to reproduce:
- Connect to Torbrowser/Tor control port (usually 9051), authenticate using a configured authentication method, and send the "signal reload" command. This is needed for example to (temporary) set a new exit node or exit country for a new browser tab without closing all other tabs and restarting Torbrowser.
- Try to reload the current page or open a new.
What is the current bug behavior?
Error "The proxy server is refusing connections". No more browsing is possible.
What is the expected behavior?
The page navigation should continue working, but with the new Tor config.
Environment
Windows 10 Torbrowser 12.5.1
