Description
When I install keybase on tails, it can't connect to the API because of Tails restrictions. Not sure how to work around, but the tor functionality doesn't seem to do it.
amnesia@amnesia:~/Desktop$ keybase -tor-mode leaky login
How would you like to sign this install of Keybase?
(1) Use an existing device
(2) Use a paper key
(3) Use my Keybase passphrase
Choose a signing option: 2

Research direction
Begin with the reported keybase -tor-mode leaky login command and the API connection error shown in the issue. Investigate how Tails restrictions affect this connection and how the existing Tor functionality is intended to work; done means Keybase can connect to the API on Tails.
