Fixing Tor "Proxy Server Refusing Connection" on Android
One of the most common errors for Tor Browser users is the "Proxy server refusing connection" screen. This happens when the internal Tor service fails to start or your network is blocking the proxy nodes.
3 Ways to Fix it:
- Restart Orbot/Tor: Sometimes the service hangs and needs a fresh start.
- Change Identity: Swipe down and tap "New Identity" to get a fresh proxy site route.
- Use an Integrated Browser: Avoid the split-app setup.
Tired of troubleshooting? Simontok Private Proxy integrates the connection engine directly into the browser, meaning no "Refusing Connection" errors—just instant access to unblocked websites.
