 Priority:  normal    |      Milestone:
Component:  Tor       |        Version:  Tor: unspecified

 tor version: 0.2.4.20-1
 Debian sid i686

 This problem started few hours ago. I checked many sources of problem. I
 even thought NSA delays my connections with Tor netwerk to fingerprint me
 :) Then I checked another tor instance, from tor browser, where no Address
 is specified, it worked fine.

 The reason occurred to be in Down DNS server. Domain I specified for
 Address, was not resolved. I commented out Address, now Tor works fine!
