Comment on Onion Browser (iOS Tor web browser, open source) now available in the App Storeparent

After having the app in the background for a few hours, I tried to use it to browse again but nothing happening. I had to force close the app and restart it to be able to use it. Is this normal and, if not, is this a known issue that is going to be corrected? Edit: in fact, it seems to do this as soon as my phone times out into auto-sleep :/

This is the biggest glaring bug on the app right now.[1] Doesn’t seem to always affect the app (~30% of the time) when backgrounding to another app or if the phone is manually locked, but more regularly (>75%) happens when the phone idle sleeps.

I’m trying to nail this down, but it’ll likely take me some time to find a real fix.
