When ooniprobe starts it should perform checks to verify the config file is correct
This issue was automatically migrated from github issue https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-probe/issues/279.
There are some cases that can be detected as wrong settings that should fail gracefully at startup.
For example if you have set start_tor
to false
and no socks port is set ooniprobe should fail to start and output a comprehensible error message.
Also when the socks_port
is set it should verify that Tor is listening on such port.
