13)   When you run Tor Browser for the first time, you will see the Tor

14)   Network Settings window. This offers you the option to connect directly to the

15)   Tor network, or to configure Tor Browser for your connection.

24)     In most cases, choosing "Connect" will allow you to connect to the Tor network

25)     without any further configuration. Once clicked, a status bar will
26)     appear, showing Tor’s connection progress. If you are on a relatively
27)     fast connection, but this bar seems to get stuck at a certain point,
28)     see the <link xref='troubleshooting'>Troubleshooting</link> page for
29)     help solving the problem.

38)    If you know that your connection is censored, or uses a proxy, you should

39)    select this option. Tor Browser will take you through a series of

40)    configuration options.

45)      The first screen asks if access to the Tor network is blocked or
46)      censored on your connection. If you do not believe this is the case,
47)      select “No”. If you know your connection is censored, or you have
48)      tried and failed to connect to the Tor network and no other solutions
49)      have worked, select “Yes”. You will then be taken to the <link
50)      xref='circumvention'>Circumvention</link> screen to configure
51)      a pluggable transport.

55)      <p>
56)      The next screen asks if your connection uses a proxy. In most cases,
57)      this is not necessary. You will usually know if you need to answer
58)      “Yes”, as the same settings will be used for other browsers on your
59)      system. If possible, ask your network administrator for guidance. If

60)      your connection does not use a proxy, click “Continue”.
