Please disable orbot check to work with tor

Hi

It would be great if WT stops checking if tor installed. I forward ports and I do not need orbot to have torred connections. The problem is that WT wont start if orbot is not installed.

The other issue is that even if orbot is installed, it will try to start orbot automatically which I believe is a privacy comprimise because if the connections are monitored, whoever monitors the connection will know that the tor has been run from that ip. But if one is forwarding ports over vpn or ssh, it is harder for them to figure this out.

If the ports are there it should start working. I see no reason to for it to check orbot. If no tor or orbot available, it wont connect anyways so the user will know that the necessary connections are not yet setup.

Maybe at least make it so this is optional.

thanks
