 Frequently users contact the support desk for help configuring a proxy
 when they don't need to.

 Some users think they can get even more security by setting a proxy with
 Tor, or they think that using a proxy with Tor can circumvent website
 bans, or they start using Tor when someone tells them they need to use a
 proxy, then when they see on Tor Browser's launch that they can set a
 proxy, they think that's what they should do.

 Please use this ticket to discuss other ways tor-launcher is confusing for
 users.
