Change Description
Initialize TorSettings
before the TorProvider
, to possibly avoid some races.
How Tested
Checked that interacting with stuff that normally involves TorSettings works and doesn't produce errors in the console, and checked that we don't have startup errors in general.
I couldn't test connect assist because of the domain fronting problems.
