Tor configuration stuck 100%

Question

When I type tor in terminal (macOSX), I get this. I want to configure tor but the thing is it gets stuck at 100% and nothing happens then. But the terminal still runs so I assume that it's doing something but nothing happens.

Answer 1

I think this is pretty much expected. When I compare this to my Docker-Containers (based on Debian), then is is the last line in my tor-log-file.

Please check via netstat, if tor made any connections. These additional connections are necessary, but for some reason not displayed by tor.

Also maybe you should run

tor &

so that tor runs in the background. This enables you to use the terminal, after tor was started / bootstrapped. Alternatively you could also open up a second terminal and check for connections there.

As @steve already mentioned it is hard to tell what you want to do, if you don't tell us.

Answer 2

Actually, your Tor instance has been bootstrapped up successfully and it's awaiting your requests and the network messages from outside. In time, like in 24 hours, another stats will be printed into the standard output. Only if there are some errors occurred - they will be printed before stats. It's totally OK
