Tor Browser doesn't connect - you can

The Tor Browser offers you a free VPN connection. If the browser does not connect, this indicates a network problem. Find out in this practical tip what you can do about it.

Tor Browser does not connect - what to do?

• First, make sure you are connected to the internet correctly. To do this, simply open a page in your browser.
• Antivirus programs and the firewall often block communication with the Tor Browser. Therefore, switch off both services briefly. If you can then establish a connection without any problems, we will show you how to enable Tor in the firewall and in your antivirus.
• We recommend that you use the entire Tor Browser package, as otherwise files and folders may be missing and a connection is not possible.
• If you already have an old version of Tor on your PC, you should uninstall it completely. To do this, manually remove all remaining files and folders after the successful installation and then reinstall the browser.
