 Replying to [ticket:15073 hsafe]:

 > I am a user in Iran, running tor on a linux. Recently- more than a week-
 tor failed to establish connection to the tor network, messages as such:
 > Feb 28 09:41:51.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 25%: Loading networkstatus
 consensus
 > Feb 28 09:47:20.000 [notice] I learned some more directory information,
 but not enough to build a circuit: We have no usable consensus.

 Have you tried (obfs) bridges?

 > I know that your first advise must be using the tor-browser but for the
 technical reason and ease of use and also torrifying everything outo f my
 linux I much prepfer to use tor as a daemon built in app in linux.

 Do you know about Tails? That's exactly what you're looking for, plus some
 more hardening and configs that you might not have even thought about.

 > I tried to troubleshoot all the possible ways including a new kvm and
 setting tor in it to observe the connection establishment and if that is
 suppressed by the Iran regime. I should say that there I received pretty
 funny messages as:

 I wonder what changes did you make to manage to get the errors mentioned
 above.

 forward and includes a default 9050 port socks 5 on the 127.0.0.1.

 How did you download your Tor? Did you verify the signature?
