Tails 5.19
New features
Closing a Tor circuit from Onion Circuits
You can now close a given Tor circuit from the Onion Circuits interface. This can help replace a particularly slow Tor circuit or troubleshoot issues on the Tor network.
To close a Tor circuit:
Choose
▸ Open Onion Circuits in the top navigation bar.
Right-click (on Mac, click with two fingers) on the circuit that you want to close.
Choose Close this circuit in the shortcut menu.
When you close a circuit that is being used by an application, your application gets disconnected from this destination service.
For example, when you close a circuit while Tor Browser is downloading a file, the download fails.
If you connect to the same destination server again, Tor uses a different circuit to replace the circuit that you closed.
For example, if you download the same file again, Tor uses a new circuit.
