The initial database download (from gitlab) via Tor previously failed due to gitlab making extra checks, but I implemented a hack that should work for now. You can always perform the initial download (no identifiable information used) using normal internet connection. You can even avoid it by [embedding main DB](FAQ.md#the-app-takes-too-much-storage-space-what-can-i-do). Partially. There's no proxy settings in the app, but system-wide tunnels should work fine.
