This is what I see: # systemctl status tor.service ● tor.service - Anonymizing overlay network for TCP Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/tor.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: start-limit) since Mon 2015-07-27 08:55:20 CDT; 6min ago Main PID: 3241 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Jul 27 08:55:20 systemd[1]: Unit tor.service entered failed state.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tor-0.2.6.10-1.fc22.x86_64 How reproducible: In my system, when I reboot, it doesn't start Steps to Reproduce: 1. systemctl enable tor.service 2. reboot 3. systemctl status tor.service Actual results: Tor doesn't start Expected results: Tor has started Permissions in /var/lib/tor was the issue per this closed bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=974477#c11 Tor was running fine until the update.
/etc/tor/torrc for some reason must be other readable (chmod o+r /etc/tor/torrc)
In my case it was I have a IPv6 ORPort and it couldn't bind to that address at startup, I had to do: # systemctl enable NetworkManager-wait-online.service # systemctl edit tor.service [Unit] After=network-online.target Requires=network-online.target
