The error meessage that you shown, can sometimes come when you internet is not working well or is slow.
My internet is absolutely fine.
Anyway, I still haven't got time to reset my computer. There must be something that is no going well with my computer.
I guess now I need to get used to with VPN. It's the last thing I wanted but to maintain the business, from the responsibility I am taking the risk otherwise I would take a break from Bitcointalk until the DF thing was settled.
Once you've compromised your privacy, it's lost forever. If your VPN can't be trusted, it's too late after using it only once.
You could use a virtual desktop on a VPS, and access that through Tor.
But that's slow and annoying to work with.I already tried and you already got it that the experience was annoying.
@AB de Royse777, do you have any new details regarding your problem? You should always take into account that something else can have an impact on Tor, but the only thing that comes to mind is to look in the settings of your antivirus/firewall and maybe restart your modem.
I have tried everything, my last option as you can read is to reset the system. It will be so time consuming for me that I am still trying to find a good time to do that.
