  • [gentoo-user] torbrowser : proxy server is refusing connections

    From Helmut Jarausch@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 5 18:20:01 2023
    Hi,
    I am totally new to "tor".
    I have installed torbrowser from the torbrowser overlay.

    When I start torbrowser I get "Something Went Wrong"
    If I start
    torbrowser check.torproject.org

    I get
    proxy server is refusing connections

    Are there any configuration I have to modify?

    Many thanks for your help
    Helmut

    Do you have tor running on port 9150? Did you follow the instructions at https://github.com/MeisterP/torbrowser-overlay/blob/master/Readme.md?

    If you are new to tor, it's probably easier to just use the the bundle
    from https://www.torproject.org/download/

    It should work out of the box.
