Why is my Tor Browser not connecting to Tor?

Is Tor legal or illegal?
Accessing the dark web is legal in India. The Indian government does not recognize it as an illegal activity, because it is just another part of the internet that you are surfing, through TOR, Freenet, etc. However, this doesn't mean you are free to do whatever you want.

How do I fix Tor proxy server refused connections?
Try a different port from the one currently in use, such as 9050 or 9150. When all else fails, reinstall the browser. This time, make sure to install Tor Browser in a new directory, not over a previously installed browser.
Why does Tor take so long to connect?
Why is the Tor Browser so slow? The Tor Browser is slow* because it routes data via three relays (servers) for your privacy. Regular connection, on the other hand, just connects you straight to the website/service, making it much faster.
Is ISP blocking Tor?
Because Tor has been used for illegal activities, some ISP might throttle or block Tor traffic. Thanks to onion routing, your ISP can't know which site you're visiting or read your traffic. However, ISP will know that you're using Tor. This is because the IP addresses of Tor's nodes are publicly available.
