Boo.
- Enhances Tor reliability and connection speed
- Connects faster by reusing the network directory between launches (about 3× quicker on warm starts).
- Watchtower rebuilds Tor automatically when it looks connected but no relay traffic is flowing.
- Recovers from stuck entry guards that could leave Tor unable to connect across app restarts.
- No longer hangs on a hostile network — bootstrap gives up after 60s and retries instead of wedging.
- Holds Tor-routed relays until the proxy is ready, cutting wasted battery and network on launch and Wi-Fi/cellular switches.
- Stays stable through self-heal resets and network changes.
