Strange going ons with tails. Anyone else have this?

So I get this error saying the clock cannot sync and can't connect to the tor network. But then if I start the unsafe browser it immediately pops up and says tor is ready. I've wiped and reinstalled many times and it still happens. Anyone else have this issue? What are the odds that this is fucking up my opsec?

This known issue from version 1.8 is posted on the Tails website. It reads as follows -

The bridge mode fails if the system clock is incorrect. To prevent this problem, correct the system clock before connecting to the network. To do so:

  1. Set up an administration password when starting Tails.

  2. Right-click on the system clock in the top navigation bar and choose Adjust Date & Time.

  3. Click the Unlock button and enter the administration password from step 1.

  4. Adjust the time to be the correct time in UTC (use the same difference with your local time as observed usually in Tails).

Check the date and time on your system. Make sure it's within ~5 minutes of the actual time.
