Checking Authorization Restart Loop - Tor

[lambda25 0]

Hi,

 

I've setup tor to allow use of a control port. Using the test button indicates AirVPN can connect through the tor port successfully.

 

I enter my login details into the client, which logs me in successfully.

 

Now when I click to connect to a server it states it is "Checking Authorization", fails, then restarts in 3 seconds trying to do the same thing. This continues until I click cancel.

 

When I change back to default setting it connects to servers without a problem.

 

any help is much appreciated as I would really like the extra layer of tor security.

 

Thanks!

Hi, 

 

I know it's been a few days since this was posted, and I hope you were able to fix this error since then. I had the same issue, and was able to correct in by restarting my computer. As simple as that sounds, it was not the first thing I thought of because I just turned on my computer and every other program was running fine. 

 

Best of luck.

I still have the same issue, restarting didn't help.

 

I upgraded my OS (ubuntu 16.04) and installed the latest eddy client v2.11.11 RC  but still have the same issue. The relevant output of the log file is:

Any help would be much appreciated.

​Had the same problem. Added   SocksPort 127.0.0.1:9150 PreferSOCKSNoAuth   to the torrc file and now seems to be working fine.
