Hi, I have a couple of questions about the "Tor Network settings" in Tor browser.
Tor browser can be configure to use bridges and/or pluggable transport if needed. However it may happen that these PT are exposed on port that cannot be reached from behind company/university restrictive firewalls. In the Tor Network settings (clicking on the onion icon) I see that there is an option that says "This computer goes through a firewall that only allows connections to certain ports", this option is not available when ou click on the "Configure" button when you want to configure a connection when Tor is starting up. Tor Network settings at startup: https://imgur.com/nEzkHwe Tor Networks settings from the icon: https://imgur.com/bRGGRPI My first question is: why there is this difference? The second question is about how this setting work. Here's my scenario, born out of testing a bridge with pluggable transport [1]: * I start Tor browser normally * I go to "Tor Network settings" and I put in my bridge with plugglable transport * I enable the firewall setting indicating to go through ports 80,443 (default value) with this configuration Tor Browser does not work. Note that the bridge works, if I use a proxy to bypass the firewall or if I connect from a non-firewalled network Tor Browser works normally. So, how does that setting work?
