Tor acts as transparent proxy for LAN 192.168.*.*, so it has this option (/etc/tor/torrc): TransPort 192.168.0.1:9040 Recently I have updated NetworkManager to 1.8.0 version. And now tor doesn't start at system boot: * Starting NetworkManager ... * Marking NetworkManager as inactive. It will automatically be marked * as started after a network connection has been established. * WARNING: NetworkManager has started, but is inactive * WARNING: dnsmasq will start when NetworkManager has started * /var/run/tor: correcting owner * Starting tor ...

I think must be the same. So it need depend() { need net } at /etc/init.d/tor
Did adding need net fix the issue for you? We used to have it, but the openrc people thought that it was being abused in some packages and so removed it. I can add it back if you confirm that it fixes the issue for you.

Well, the opinion of community is the goal. As for my case, I found a simple workaround: /etc/conf.d/tor rc_need="net" So, init script can be untuched.
Anthony, you can add to ebuild, as 'elog' section, something like this: If you use OpenRC, please, note that tor doesn't have rc 'net' dependence for now. If you need one (using tor as transparent proxy, for example) you can set it in /etc/conf.d/tor as (change the appropriate net interface name): rc_need="net.eth0" And, with that, this bug can be closed, I think.
