Re: [tor-talk] Is my ISP censoring my access to Tor?

The circuit building is definitely timing out.  I'm no expert.

Is this correct?  Shouldn't it be Socks listening on port 9050; control 
listener on port 9051 - or does that matter?

>>>>>  It appears that the SOCKS port is now random for the Tor Browser Bundle.

The torrc file shows (SocksPort auto) which I guess randomises the port.

Are you using the same machine / same TBB installation at home as at the 
cafe wifi?

>>>>> Yes

How many times has this happened at home  - is it a regular thing now?  

>>>>> Every time.

If not, possible the home ISP server's just busy.  How fast is your 
connection?

>>>>> Fast.

If you haven't, try closing TBB, make sure that all Tor services are 
stopped - then restart TBB.  I've had Tor / TBB fail to connect in the 
past & wasn't my ISP.  Occasionally, reinstalling (or in this case, 
re-extracting files to new folder) solved the problem.  Have you looked 
at TBB Firefox network proxy settings to check they are correct?

>>>>>> I've tried re-installing it to no avail.

However, the most relevant aspect is this:

When I load a VPN and then run Tor it works!!!

How come?
