Problem: Failing to connect via bridge mode wizarrd (due to down/blocked
bridges) willl corrupt the nm-system-connections folder in
live/persistence/Tails_data_unlocked for persistent volumes.
Symptom: Connecting via bridge mode wizard with bad bridges will stall the
connection process and will fail, this is normal, however on reboot (into
persistence) system clock will update (from bios time) but popup will show with
long list of sites used to sync clock. Tor icon will load and turn green
however there is no access to tor (no routers loaded in network map) or the
internet.
Workaround: Load into your persistence as root, open root terminal, input
"nautilus", navigate to TailsData_unlocked folder and wipe
nm-system-connections folder, reboot, tails will now connect normally.
Steps to repeat:
1. Load into the tor connection wizard via the tails greeter and into your
persistence (note: network connections doesnt have to be persistent for this
bug to be active) navigating to 3rd window ("does your isp restrict tor") to
open up bridge input box
2. Input bad or nonexistent bridges (for testing purposes), tor will fail to
connect. *it seems like it tries the first and fails, even if there is a good
one in there*.
3. Reboot into your persistence and try to connect directly to tor as normal,
you will be unable to connect to tor through the tor icon will load anyways.
