Tor Browser – Problem Connecting?

Posted: September 1, 2014 at 4:46 pm

So this is odd - i've been using TOR Browser for a while now with no issue, but then tonight I tried to connect and I get the following error message -

"Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at check.torproject.org."

I haven't changed any settings, and my log file contains the following:

I'm not finding much help online - what could be the problem?
