If restarts and waiting doesn’t help, maybe try changing your entry guard? Or even try using a bridge, is your ISP is throttling your Tor traffic.
Note: the persistent entry guard is a feature that helps to reduce the risk of an attack, so changing it often may harm your anonymity.
If just a specific website or hidden service is slow, maybe it’s not a problem on your end that you could solve.
i dont know why this happens. Its like in morning slow but on late day it can go okay very fast… but then can off and tor restart dont help. some strange shit
It depends on your physical location, on local governments and ISPs, where you are using the internet. I don’t recommend to share this but you might want to discuss
Sometimes only 4G connections are throttled, but others work fine.
Indeed Tor is sometimes throttled by ISPs. user → VPN → Tor might help, but often such ISPs also throttle VPN connections. Unless you have someone in your area who would know this, your only chance is to try.
