Make configuration available without force to connect to Tox #10

Description

@ovalseven8

Hello,

assume you would like to communicate anonymously with Tox over Tor.


At the moment (qTox):

  • Login
    • qTox connects to the Tox network
  • Go to the settings
  • Configure Tor as proxy (force TCP)

=> IP address is leaked

Desired behaviour (qTox):

  • Login (Offline-mode)
    • qTox just loads the profile but doesn't connect to the Tox network
  • Go to the settings
  • Configure Tor as proxy (force TCP)
  • Switch to 'online', 'busy' or 'away'
    • Only now qTox connects to the Tox network

=> IP address isn't leaked


So, what I wanted to say:
In Tox-Client-Standard should perhaps gets mentioned that you should be able to use Tox over Tor in a secure way.

  • Being able to change configuration without force to connect to Tox network
  • Being able to force TCP/proxy
