Hi,
I am totally new to "tor".
I have installed torbrowser from the torbrowser overlay.

When I start torbrowser I get  "Something Went Wrong"
If I start
torbrowser  check.torproject.org

I get
proxy server is refusing connections

Are there any configuration I have to modify?

Many thanks for your help
Helmut

Do you have tor running on port 9150? Did you follow the instructions at 
https://github.com/MeisterP/torbrowser-overlay/blob/master/Readme.md?

If you are new to tor, it's probably easier to just use the the bundle 
from https://www.torproject.org/download/

It should work out of the box.
