Verify that Tor Browser does not connect to check.t.o if HTTPS Everywhere is disabled
Originally created by @intrigeri on #7686 (Redmine)
On https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/9693, we’re told that #6261 is actually not caused by Torbutton, but most likely by HTTPS Everywhere. We should verify this:
- start sniffing the outgoing connections (e.g. via the Vidalia network map, which is not perfect, but easy and cheap)
- start Tor Browser in Tails
- verify that you can see an outgoing connection to check.torproject.org
- disable the HTTPS Everywhere add-on
- close Tor Browser
- start Tor Browser
- verify that you can not see any outgoing connection to check.torproject.org
- report back on this ticket
