 It's too convoluted. This allows 1024 different settings for TOR. I would want two:

( ) tell the world my IP address
(*) protect my privacy 
 Doesn't work. Videos take forever to load, many relays block it, profile pictures don't load, and streaming videos snag all the time. 

Tor is good, but the all or nothing doesn't make much sense. 
 Make it four options then:

* Protect my privacy
* Protect my privacy unless the relay really wants to know my IP
* Protect my privacy unless it comes at a cost
* Fuck my privacy 
 We can offer some cool presets. 🚀 
 Presets are in https://image.nostr.build/d0c87b32c4019be22944554400204b5336d934987fb3738a91a7605cdf975ce6.jpg

 What's the difference between default and all but media? What are other connections but relays and media? 
 Forget what I said it's on the image above 😅🤦🏻‍♂️ 
 Which one do you suggest?

 Very nice and well done 🫂 
 Very nice. Does it remember my last custom settings if I select to one of the presets and then select custom again? 
 Also, sorry if you already seen this and I'm being annoying, but I'm curious about Trusted / Untrusted.

 Yeah, that's the goal. Trusted are the ones in your lists, untrusted for everyone else's relay. 
 What if there was a basic and advanced tor configuration? That would allow users to choose from a set of default "recommended" settings, as well as providing the ability to modify settings on a more granular basis.  
 Privacy is never enough there's a simple menu

 it used to be Connect/Disconnect Orbot and you were set....

Now look at it  
 This is great because we will be able to use VPN all the time and Tor over it. 
 We always had that though 

Everything went through orbot  
 Using tor to browse all the internet is horrible it's slow and the websites ask for capcha all the time better to use a VPN even my lightning wallet don't open with orbot on 😅.
With this I can still have VPN on and Tor over it.
