Some controllers want this so they can mess with Tor's configuration for a while via the control port before actually letting Tor out of the house. We do this with a new DisableNetwork option, that prevents Tor from making any outbound connections or binding any non-control listeners. Additionally, it shuts down the same functionality as shuts down when we are hibernating, plus the code that launches directory downloads. To make sure I didn't miss anything, I added a clause straight to connection_connect, so that we won't even try to open an outbound socket when the network is disabled. In my testing, I made this an assert, but since I probably missed something, I've turned it into a BUG warning for testing.
Tor protects your privacy on the internet by hiding the connection
between your Internet address and the services you use. We believe Tor
is reasonably secure, but please ensure you read the instructions and
configure it properly.
To build Tor from source:
./configure && make && make install
