If the "netstat" command didn't work, try 'sudo apt install net-tools -y".

In firefox port 9050 doesn’t work for me, and I use port 9150, and the problem is solved.

This method doesn’t work unless there are other criteria that need to be true. You’ll get a “The proxy server is refusing connections” error.

This tutorial should be made more detailed. The author should specify what other systems and/or browser settings need to be enabled or disabled prior to doing this because there’s obviously a conflict. The fact that they are getting a screenshot that says they’re connected to Tor and others who follow these steps are not necessarily meant settings are out of sync somewhere.

FYI, if you use Android, Orbot will allow you to configure Tor with no problem and it will just route all your device traffic through it with a simple click. Quite literally, setting up a Tor proxy on Android is pretty much this simple. But it doesn’t appear the instructions are complete for desktop PC browsers.

I am getting this error using Firefox.

The proxy server is refusing connections

An error occurred during a connection to check.torproject.org.

Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.
Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working.
