After rebooting, if I unlock the persistent storage on the boot-up screen, Bitcoin Core auto-starts. But there’s also a popup for enabling Tor that the user needs to click through before Core can connect to peers.

Would it make sense to have Bails check that the user has an active Tor connection? If not, tell the user in a Black banner at the top to connect to Tor (like when the user enables persistent storage features)? At least while the node is still in IBD, since noobs/boomers night not know that the node isn’t syncing.

@epiccurious: this is another good first issue. Just add a background process to one of the autostarts that checks for network after 30-60s and opens tca (tor connection assistant) if they are offline. Probably in the -startupnotify= from bitcoin-qt as the network is not needed before Bitcoin is ready.
