I have Cisco ASA5525-X Threat Defense and i cannot block tor networks. I have configured Security Intelligence to black list tor-exit-node but no luck. Any suggestions?

I've done it sccessfully (and verified via testing) with clients running FMC 6.1 and later. What version are you running? Have you confirmed that your Security Intelligence feed (Objects > Security Intelligence > Network Lists and Feeds > Cisco-Intelligence-Feed) is being updated?
Can you share a screenshot of your Access Control Policy Security Intelligence settings and confirm it is deployed to the device?
Also, if you can, share a connection event showing the allowed connection to a TOR exit node.

No success with blocking users from using e.g. Onion Browser here.
Here´s the Security Intelligence Setting. I also tried adding Tor_exit_node in the Networks section.
Event log snippet:
The destination IP is 192.42.116.86.
According to the Onion browser, this IP is the entry guard.
I probably lack some understanding on how TOR works but the list is called Tor_exit_nodes and is published by the project itself. I have the impression I can use it to block Tor users from accessing my webservers. But I want to prevent my users from accessing TOR and thus I´d need to block access to these entry points. I found some information regarding blocking access to TOR Directory Authorities but there doesn´t seem to be such list in FMC.
When I activate the obfs4 bridge in the browser, the traffic is blocked via App category. But with no bridge configuration, the FTD seems unable to identify the traffic.
