I’m using Microsoft Windows 10 Pro (64 bits, build 18363) and Brave Desktop Version 1.47.186 Chromium: 109.0.5414.119 (Official Build) (64-bit).
I have read the FAQ and it suggests to do as follows: Settings --> Privacy and Security --> Tor windows and toggle the Private window with Tor option off then on again.
This didn’t work for me, so I have tried to remove the whole folder located at:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\tor\data
I noticed that every time I started private mode the folder was created and it was completely empty.
There is no log, which makes me suspect that the thread is not running.
So I looked at brave://tor-internals/ and there is no associated process (PID -1):
Tor Version:
Tor Process Id: -1
Tor Proxy URI:
Tor Connection Status: Disconnected
Tor Initialization Progress:
What else could I do to investigate it? Reinstalling has not solved the problem.
Thank you for reaching out and I’m sorry to hear you are going through this. Can you try toggling the tor extension (brave://settings/extensions ) on/off and tell me if this makes any difference? If not, can you please share a screenshot of the logs tab on your brave://tor-internals page?
Thanks for the information, I’ve shared this with our team and I’m waiting for further information on the matter. Once our team has answers, we will get back to you as soon as possible.
