How to fix the "Proxy Server Is Refusing Connection" error in Tor Browser

This error can appear for several reasons, from antivirus interference to incorrect ports or a corrupted installation. This article lists common causes and steps you can take to resolve the issue before contacting Tor support.

Ошибки у прокси-сервера могут возникать по разным причинам. Если вы столкнулись с такой ошибкой, вы можете попробовать выполнить одно или несколько следующих действий:

If you have an antivirus, it may be interfering with the Tor service. Disable the antivirus and restart the browser.
You should not move the Tor Browser folder from its original location to a different location. Если вы это сделали, отмените изменение.
You should also check the port that you are connecting with. Try a different port from the one currently in use, such as 9050 or 9150.
When all else fails, reinstall the browser. This time, make sure to install Tor Browser in a new directory, not over a previously installed browser.
