 OS X 10.11.6, Tor Browser 7.5

 I have to configure TB to use a socks5 proxy to reach the internet (I
 predict this is unrelated). I disabled safe logging.

 Attempting to go to https://[2a00:1450:401b:800::200e]/ (google) produces
 the following Tor logs.

 {{{
 1/26/18, 14:51:25.600 [NOTICE] Bootstrapped 85%: Finishing handshake with
 first hop

 circuit
 1/26/18, 14:51:50.000 [NOTICE] Tor has successfully opened a circuit.
 Looks like client functionality is working.
 1/26/18, 14:51:50.000 [NOTICE] Bootstrapped 100%: Done
 1/26/18, 14:51:50.900 [NOTICE] New control connection opened from

 https://ipv6.google.com works with every 6th circuit. I'm sure this is
 unrelated and has to do with exits half supporing ipv6 or something.
