TCA: consider more freedom in going back

Doing this workflow lead to not being able to choose the "non-hide" option anymore:

  1. TCA open
  2. Select "Hide to my local network..."
  3. Introduce a bridge. For example, I used this one: obfs4 78.47.76.79:30030 C03B101F99390CABB58A0D1B04E35470E7F472F9 cert=nR4HkZtXhsutdJla5qAy3cGfJKSn/RgMloA26V72UeNlrpO65+prJ28J4w6XNRgLVBX0EQ iat-mode=0 But on purpose, I modify the IP so it fails to connect.
  4. "Configure a bridge"
  5. "Back"
  6. And now the first option is unavailable

this is not a bug, it has explicitly been programmed like that. However, now I'm wondering what the proper UX should be. For clarity, here is an explaination of the current behavior:

  • until you start the connection, you are always free to change your mind about the consent question
  • as soon as you see the progress bar, your answer to the consent question is locked. If the connection fails, you can't change it.
  • this doesn't affect the "configure bridges" checkbox, if you selected the "easy" mode

And how to explain it to the user:

  • Only dimming portions of the interface might not be understandable
  • We could alternatively implement scary "Are you sure?" screens when doing from hiding Tor to autoconfig for example.

This also relates to which local network you are connecting to.

From #18382 (closed), we might add a "Cancel" button to the error screen when hiding Tor if we allow people to switch from hiding back to autoconfig in the future.
