Hi! This should hopefully be fixed by #75 but for now you need to start a new tor process with a torrc file like this:

SOCKSPort 9050
ControlPort 9051

#75 makes this automatic, so once it is merged this annoying setup should not be required.

Hi

So this should now be fixed if you could update cwtch to the latest commit and try and test again, cwtch should now attempt to run a local tor proxy.

Can confirm. Just pulled the source, ran cwtch and tor was running with config in ~/.cwtch/torrc.
