Вася Пупкин (ID: 000000f197eb401f) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/01/2018 Нахожусь в России, не работает ! Одно время расширение работало, но теперь - нет. Приложение пишет, что подключилось к сети Tor, но проверку подключения не проходит. Писал в службу поддержки - не ответили. При этом "Tor Browser Button" работает без проблем.
