Issue: Package is inaccessible in countries where tor mirrors are blocked #29

Closed oomfiee closed 4 months ago

oomfiee commented 4 months ago

when running the package it will try to connect to the mirrors this will not work in countries where they block tor mirrors. which makes this package inaccessible and non-functional.

possible fix: use pre-packaged archive from tor or other 3rd party mirrors in case of the user being in the countries that do block tor and its mirrors.

You can launch "Tor Browser Launcher Settings" and try setting other mirror. If this does not work, the only possible workaround is to run a local Tor daemon outside of the Flatpak and point torbrowser-launcher to its IP/Port via "Tor Browser Launcher Settings".

does not work bc if i use a mirror option the application cannot install bc it trys to check a update from a blocked domain

yes possibly using the tor daemon may work but if thats a fix then its possibly recommended to tell it in the description first
