msgid "There are several options for how OnionShare should connect to Tor. You can change them in Settings, which you can get to by clicking the gear icon in the bottom-right of the window."
msgid "This is the default way that OnionShare connects to Tor, and it's also the simplest and most reliable way. For this reason, it's recommended for most users."
msgid "When you open OnionShare, it will launch a Tor process in the background that's configured specifically for OnionShare to use. This Tor process won't interfere with other Tor processes on your computer, so you're free to run Tor Browser or use a system Tor in the background."
msgid "You can configure OnionShare to connect to the Tor that comes with Tor Browser. First, `download Tor Browser <https://www.torproject.org>`_ here if you don't already have it. With this setting selected, you need to keep Tor Browser open in the background while you're using OnionShare."
msgid "Download the Tor Windows Expert Bundle, which you can get `from here <https://www.torproject.org/download/tor/>`_. Extract the zip file and copy the extracted folder to ``C:\\Program Files (x86)\\``, and rename the folder to ``tor-win32``, so that inside that folder is the ``Data`` and ``Tor`` folders."
msgid "Make up a control port password. I'm going to use ``comprised stumble rummage work avenging construct volatile`` as my password. Now open a command prompt 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 my case, it was ``16:00322E903D96DE986058BB9ABDA91E010D7A863768635AC38E213FDBEF``."

Under \"How should OnionShare connect to Tor?\" choose \"Connect using control port\", and set the control port host to ``127.0.0.1`` and the port to ``9051``.

msgid "If your access to the internet is censored, you can configure OnionShare to connect to the Tor network using `Tor bridges <https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/bridges.html.en>`_. If OnionShare successfully connects to Tor, you don't need to use a bridge."
