If you have a firewall on your computer, it might be blocking the connection to Tor.

However, some countries like China, block the connections to the Tor network.  
Tor bridges are designed to bypass this, however, Bisq had issues with it in the past so it removed the support for them.

You could try downloading the Tor browser and see if you can connect to the Tor network on your own, just to see if it is up to Bisq or access to Tor network itself.
