msgid "You can toggle on the switch \"Connect to Tor automatically\" before clicking \"Connect to Tor\". This means that next time OnionShare starts, it will automatically connect with its Tor connection settings from the last session, instead of presenting you with the connection options. If the connection fails, you can still try bridges or reconfigure Tor via the \"Network Settings\" button."
msgid "You can click \"Connect to Tor\" to begin the connection process. If there are no problems with your network, including any attempts to block your access to the Tor network, this should hopefully work the first time."
msgid "When you click \"Connect to Tor\", if OnionShare fails to connect, it might be because Tor is censored in your country or on your local network."
msgid "If you choose the \"Try again without a bridge\" option, OnionShare will retry connecting to Tor like normal, without attempting to bypass censorship."
msgid "The other two options will attempt to automatically bypass censorship using Tor bridges. If your network provider is blocking access to the Tor network, you can hopefully still connect to a Tor bridge, which will then connect you to the Tor network, circumventing the censorship. Both of these options use the Tor Project's Censorship Circumvention API to provide you with bridge settings that should work for you. OnionShare will temporarily use the `Meek <https://gitlab.torproject.org/legacy/trac/-/wikis/doc/meek/>`_ domain-fronting proxy to make a non-Tor connection from your computer to Tor's Censorship Circumvention API. The Meek proxy hides the fact that you are trying to find a way to connect to Tor."
msgid "If you choose \"Automatically determine my country from my IP address for bridge settings\", the Censorship Circumvention API will consider your IP address (yes, your real IP address) to determine what country you might reside in. Based on the country information, the API will try to automatically find bridges that suit your location."
msgid "If you choose \"Manually select my country for bridge settings\", the Censorship API will find the bridges that suit the country that you specified."
msgid "If the Censorship Circumvention API finds bridges that it believes will suit you, OnionShare will try to reconnect to Tor using those bridges. If the API does not find any bridges for your location, OnionShare will ask the API for \"fallback\" options, and then try to reconnect using those."
msgid "If for some reason OnionShare fails to connect to the Censorship API itself, or if the API returns an error message, OnionShare will attempt to use the obfs4 built-in bridges."
msgid "It's important to note that the requests to the Censorship Circumvention API do not go over the Tor network (because if you could connect to Tor already, you wouldn't need to connect to the API)."
msgid "Even though it's hard for an adversary to discover where the Meek request is going, this may still be risky for some users. Therefore, it is an opt-in feature. The use of Meek and non-torified network requests are limited only to making one or two requests to the Censorship Circumvention API. Then Meek is stopped, and all further network requests happen over the Tor network."
msgid "If you are uncomfortable with making a request that doesn't go over the Tor network, you can click \"Network Settings\" (or the Settings icon in the bottom right corner, followed by the Tor Settings tab in the screen that appears), and manually configure bridges. After you save any bridge settings, OnionShare will try to reconnect using those bridges."
msgid "You can get to the Tor settings by clicking \"Network Settings\" on the welcome screen, or by clicking the \"⚙\" icon in the bottom-right corner of the application, and then switch to the Tor Settings tab in the screen that appears."
msgid "When you open OnionShare, it launches an already configured ``tor`` process in the background for OnionShare to use. It doesn't interfere with other ``tor`` processes on your computer, so you can use the Tor Browser or the system ``tor`` on their own."
msgid "If using a built-in bridge doesn't work, you can request a bridge from torproject.org. You will have to solve a CAPTCHA in order to request a bridge. (This makes it more difficult for governments or ISPs to block access to Tor bridges.)"
msgid "If you have `downloaded the Tor Browser <https://www.torproject.org>`_ and don't want two ``tor`` processes running, you can use the ``tor`` process from the Tor Browser. Keep in mind you need to keep Tor Browser open in the background while you're using OnionShare for this to work."
msgid "Download the Tor Windows Expert Bundle `from <https://www.torproject.org/download/tor/>`_. Extract the compressed file and copy the extracted folder to ``C:\\Program Files (x86)\\`` Rename the extracted folder with ``Data`` and ``Tor`` in it to ``tor-win32``."
msgid "Make up a control port password. (Using 7 words in a sequence like ``comprised stumble rummage work avenging construct volatile`` is a good idea for a password.) Now open a command prompt (``cmd``) as an administrator, and use ``tor.exe --hash-password`` to generate a hash of your password. For example::"
msgid "The hashed password output is displayed after some warnings (which you can ignore). In the case of the above example, it is ``16:00322E903D96DE986058BB9ABDA91E010D7A863768635AC38E213FDBEF``."
