Been running Electrum ONLY on TOR at 9150 with blue dots. Its the standard and what the Electrum "branch" tells us to do.

Yeah I get the blue dot down the bottom. At first I thought something was wrong but it's actually correct.

You should check your internet first if your electrum still red this is not a problem of your electrum wallet and maybe electrum is block by your computer better to check your internet first or change dns of your computer..
And also try to disable your firewall and maybe its block or try also disable your antivirus..

your TOR port is on 9150, mine is on 9050.
if somebody uses TOR - browser to torify electrum the port would be 9051.
one could use the command nmap or lsof -i to find out.

And the TOR port is 9150

mine not. you could use for instance "nmap localhost | grep tor" to find out.

Not sure what you mean. Please clarify further. Thanks

As long as you use TOR proxy the green dot changes to blue dots. I think it is working OK.

For more info read here :

And the TOR port is 9150 and not 9050, keep this in mind.

When starting up the Electrum desktop wallet and loading up my created wallet, at the bottom right of the screen the dot is red and not connected. Why doesn't it connect?

Now if I go to Tools - Network - Proxy tab, then I make sure SSL is checked & Use Tor proxy at port 9150 is checked with SOCK5 127.0.0.1 and the default number 9050, it's still a red dot and not connected. But if I change that box next to 127.0.0.1 from 9050 to 9150, then it changes to a blue dot.

But I believe that I need a green dot for it to be connected and working correctly. Why doesn't the wallet ever show me a green dot?
