 Replying to [comment:6 lunar]:
 > Probably naive idea: is there a way to redirect these early error
 messages to a file in `Data/Tor`? It could just then be read in case of
 errors…

 I don't know if there are privacy or performance concerns related to
 sending the tor log messages to a file.  We could, assuming tor supports
 it, disable the file-based logging after Tor Launcher is able to
 successfully connect to the control port.
