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

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

I am totally new to "tor"
I have installed torbrowser from the torbrowser overlay.

When I start torbrowser, I get "Something Went Wrong"

When I start
torbrowser check.torproject.org

I get The proxy server is refusing connections

What am I missing?

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.
