hey
when i try to connect to tor using terminal i get this:

I suspect it's something that i have to configure in tor/torc. I have got newest gnu icecat on my laptop, that has tor plugin that i can use if i have got tor configured on there.
stuff like man tor or configuration has lots of stuff that i don't understand. Is it hard to configure it???
if i duckduckgo tor configuration i see lots of guides need other stuff to be downloaded like dnsmasq. Is it necessary??
thanks
