Anytime I encounter Tor start issues, I attempt to manually start Tor without the --quiet option to verify whether it's a torrc issue or something else. You might consider increasing the Tor logging level, too. Your existing Tor log shows a DNS timeout error. As I do not operate an exit relay, I don't know whether the DNS timeout error would cause Tor not to start.</div><div><br></div><div>Respectfully,</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Gary</div><div class="ydpa367868esignature">—<br>This Message Originated by the Sun.<br>iBigBlue 63W Solar Array (~12 Hour Charge)<br>+ 2 x Charmast 26800mAh Power Banks<br>= iPhone XS Max 512GB (~2 Weeks Charged)</div></div>
