 Oct 25 05:20:08 laptop Tor[26070]: The communication stream of managed
 proxy '/usr/bin/meek-client' is 'closed'. Most probably the managed proxy
 stopped running. This might be a bug of the managed proxy, a bug of Tor,
 or a misconfiguration. Please enable logging on your managed proxy and
 check the logs for errors.
