Description

I've noticed that if 'Tor for all connections' is enabled and Tor isn't working, ZeroNet automatically switches to standard (non Tor) connection. It may lead to deanonymisation of users: first user start posting content with identity X with Tor working, but then Tor malfunctions and ZeroNet switches to standard (non Tor) connection and user gets deanonymised. I think that if 'Tor for all connections' is enabled and Tor malfunctions ZeroNet should just prevent any connection to network to prevent deanonymisation.
