Hello, how can I edit the ~/.local/share/Bisq/btc\_mainnet/tor/torrc file that is being recreated at startup?

My provider is blocking the tor network and I am forced to use the “Socks5Proxy 127.0.0.1:9555” option to forward the connection through a ssh tunnel.

If i edit torrc and do “chattr -i torrc”, Bisq will start incorrectly.

Edit torrc after start tor daemon and send signal HUP not work.
