Hi @mehdiaj , You should go to Settings/Network Info/Open Tor Settings and play with the offered possibilities. 1st you may try to delete the outdated Tor Files. Are you in a country where Tor is censored ? ---

You should see the “Setting” tab in the green navigation bar at the top. It’s after “Support” and before “Account”. Once you click that you’ll find immediately bellow it three tabs “Preferences”, “Network Info” and “About”. Click on “Network info” and scroll all the way down. At the bottom on the left there’s the “Open Tor Settings” button. ---

> [@mehdiaj](#): > > can i use a VPN for this purpose? afaik, yes. Some people do that when they have issues with their FAI and/or country. (But I’m not a Tor specialist). ---

Sorry, the green nav bar only appears once you enter Bisq. This seems to be a recurrent problem so maybe you’ll find answers by searching the errors you get here on bisq.community or [github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues](http://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues)
