Comment (by traumschule):
After my monologue in #27351 i propose it to log "DisableNetwork is set.
Network settings are opened or bootstrapping failed. Do we have
connectivity? Tor will not make or accept non-control network connections.
Shutting down all existing connections."
But this is even longer and should not appear every second. The
connectivity test could be done by Tor and log that the guard is not
reachable (anymore). Instead of proposing to set DisableNetwork=0 with
stem or nyx the UI could offer a button "Enable Network" and show the
error if it fails.
