Rationale

The problem is explained in github.com/AvANa-BBS/freepto-lb/issues/129

How to reproduce the bug

This script can make tor fail. It will not always succeed at this, especially if your network connection is too good. This is just to the fact that the “exact moment” need to be centered.

Download it, running

wget 'http://paste.debian.net/download/125967' -O failtor.sh

now become root and run

bash failtor.sh &
service tor restart

How to fix it

There’s no proper way of fixing it, apart from restarting tor appropriately
