Was already updated to v1.0.8, restarted and opened new private window with TOR. Same issue.
Checked out github.com thread, tried to reproduce their solution. Also didn’t work.

Tor tab works on new Mac installs for limited time but eventually, for reasons unknown, end up at this same no connection bug. Incredibly, trashing all Brave-related user Library files (incl. caches) and reinstalling does not fix. I have been having this problem for over a year.

It’s still an issue for me on macOS:
Brave 1.17.73 Chromium: 87.0.4280.67 (Offizieller Build) (x86_64)
Überarbeitung 0e5d92df40086cf0050c00f87b11da1b14580930-refs/branch-heads/4280@{#1441}
Using Brave Tor Client Updater (Mac) - Version: 1.0.13
It used to work until “recently”. But now, when I start a new private tab with tor, it just says
Tor status
Disconnected

Would one of you be willing to share a screenshot of the error you’re describing so I can get a better idea of the situation?

Thks 4 your help
@iMaan ,
Can you confirm that you’re running the latest Brave build? v1.18.70 at the time of writing this.

I didn’t do anything special at all. When I originally wrote my answer, I wrote that it still didn’t work, but then, I was still on 1.17.75. I simply updated to the latest (1.18.x) and Tor started to work.

Are you connected to a VPN by chance? Do you have any Antivirus software running in the background?

It looks like a problem on macOS; private-Tor windows work properly for me on Windows 10.
