Comment (by antonela):

 Great, so
 - we will move users to the `Network Settings` screen if something wrong
 happens.
 - I have a +1 about removing firewall options too.

 > If the user pressed the "connect" button without configuring a
 bridge/PT, then maybe we should automatically try one of the built-in
 bridges if bootstrapping fails. We can choose one or two at random from
 the list (probably obfs4). This isn't any worse than letting tor bootstrap
 directly (which is already did, and failed).

 I like this idea! Though, I could approach the flow differently: If the
 connection fails, we move the user to the `Network Settings` screen. Here,
 the user will be allowed to enable "Internet is censored here" option.
 Note that I'm not mentioning Tor but Internet. We can discuss it once
 we'll review the copy.

 Once the user switches ON that option, TBA can "choose one or two at
 random from the list (probably obfs4)". Then the user will back to the
 main screen, and the bootstrapping will continue/happen.

 If users want to have a different bridge configuration, then they can
 press `Change` and so do it.

 What do you think?
