------------------------------+--------------------------
 I, am doing my best to learn what I can about using Tor, but it is causing
 problems that knows, now, what ignorant feels like. I, no longer can
 connect to the Internet with a regular browser, and is necessary for day
 to day usage utilizing bookmarks, and saved passwords for certain
 accounts. I, do not run Tor when using other browsers, nor do I, want, or
 can I, use Tor to access sites used on a daily basis. Neither, Chrome,
 Mozilla Firefox, or Google for that matter will allow me to do
 ''anything'' saying I, am not connected to the Internet, when most
 definitely, am connected.
 I, receive different messages about the DNS, router, or unable to diagnose
 the problem. The browser opens, but that is as far I, can get. I, cannot
 even log into my Google account, of which my problems began, meaning when
 I, logged out of Google everything stopped. Tor was doing the same,
 opening to the home page, and allowing me to access the blog, and email,
 only, but using DuckDuckGo returned one message:
 "Error 1016 Ray ID: 58cbdadddaeebb46 • 2020-05-01 19:19:35 UTC
 Origin DNS error"
 and one saying "torrc error." I, cannot recall each error message
 received, sorry. Apparently, Tor grants me access, now, but when my
 computer completely shut down, because of an "At Risk" message never, ever
 seen in my life popped up disabling use, and froze, forcing me to shut my
 device off. I, realized feeling more vulnerable, now to a virus, malware,
 etc.
 What is going on?
