Bug: Unable to Connect to Tor Network

[oldgreg78]

What version of GlobaLeaks are you using?

5.0.97 running on Ubuntu 22.04

Describe the issue

Ever since patching our Ubuntu server and GlobaLeaks software on 7/9/2026, we haven't been able to connect to the Tor network. Everything appears the same as usual in the logs, and our firewall logs show the outbound connections to the directory servers are being allowed, but not receiving any response. Everything else works fine, and nothing appears unusual in the Tor networking section of the admin interface. Is there any way to use a bridge node or otherwise configure GlobaLeaks to open Tor with options available through the torrc file, such as geographic restriction of nodes etc.? Thank you.

Proposed solution (optional)

No response

Thank you @oldgreg78

Actually latest releases did not change anything about Tor. Maybe your provider or your firewall implemented new rules?

P.s.: Tor is written with capital T and lowercase or. Please pass it on.

Thank you @evilaliv3. Say our ISP implemented new rules - is there any way for us to configure GlobaLeaks with a Tor bridge or some other way to circumvent them?
