tl;dr:
- If the user chooses autoconfig, then do unsafe NTP so Tor can bootstrap.
We'll decide on tails/tails#18230 if and how we can do that.
Then, once Tor has bootstrapped, do a safer time sync.
- If the user chooses autoconfig, then:
1. We set the clock from the network without using Tor, so Tor can bootstrap. We've decided how we can do that: https://tails.boum.org/contribute/design/Tor_enforcement/#non-tor-traffic.
2. We let Tor bootstrap.
3. Once Tor has bootstrapped, do a safer time sync with htpdate.
- Else, when the user chooses to hide Tor, ask them fix the time zone and clock manually.
Ask the user what time it is
