Comment (by weasel):

 Should be easy to get timings and logs.

 Run
 {{{
 while : ; do if ! ./time-tor-bootstrap TOR-TIMING ; then
 d="tor.fail.$(date +%s)"; mkdir "$d"; mv -v tor-test/log* "$d"; fi; echo;
 echo "X."; sleep 3; done
 }}}
 if all you care about is the cases when we went over the timeout.  Run
 {{{
 while : ; do ./time-tor-bootstrap TOR-TIMING ; d="tor.logs.$(date +%s)";
 mkdir "$d" && mv -v tor-test/log* "$d"; echo; echo "X."; sleep 3; done
 }}}
 if you care about them all.

 Best to run this as a dedicated user, because the code drops files all
 over . and/or ~.

 To drop all but http(s), use something like
 {{{
 # iptables -I OUTPUT -m owner --uid-owner w-test -j DROP
 # iptables -I OUTPUT -m owner --uid-owner w-test -p tcp -m multiport
 --dports 80,443 -j ACCEPT
 }}}
 where w-test is the user in question.
