How to bypass censorship and connect to Tor from different countries or regions

In some countries, Internet service providers or national firewalls block direct access to the Tor network. Tor Browser includes built-in support for bridges and other circumvention tools, but in censored regions you may still need to select or request a bridge to connect successfully. This page offers country-specific guidance on getting Tor Browser connected when access is censored.

中国

以下是在中国境内获取 Tor 浏览器并建立连接的可靠方法。

1. 安全获取 Tor 浏览器

如需获取更新版本的 Tor 浏览器，请先尝试 Telegram 机器人：@gettor_bot。 If that doesn't work, you can send an email to gettor@torproject.org with the subject "windows", "macos", "linux" or "android" for the respective operating system.

(Optional but recommended). Verify Tor Browser's signature.

2. 首先尝试连接助手

安装后，Tor 浏览器将尝试连接 Tor 网络。 如果所在地屏蔽了 Tor，链接助手将试图通过网桥或者 Snowflake 连接。 但是如果这样也无法连接，第二步是获得在中国可以使用的网桥。

3. 在中国有效的网桥选项

  • Try connecting to Tor with WebTunnel bridges. WebTunnel makes the traffic look like a regular HTTPS connection to a webpage server giving the impression that the user is simply browsing the web. Support for WebTunnel bridges is available on Tor Browser for Desktop and Android, Tails and Tor VPN Beta.

To obtain WebTunnel bridges:

  • Send a message to @GetBridgesBot on Telegram. 点击“开始”，或在聊天框中输入/start。 Next, tap on 'webtunnel bridges' or type /webtunnel and copy the bridge addresses.
  • Visit our bridges website. 在“Advanced options”下拉菜单中选择“WebTunnel”作为可插拔传输。 然后点击“获取网桥”。

For WebTunnel bridges obtained via Telegram or from the Bridges website, follow instructions to enter the bridge addresses in Tor Browser. If that does not work, check your Tor logs and try the following options.

  • Snowflake: uses ephemeral proxies to connect to the Tor network. 它可以在 Tor 浏览器和其他由 Tor 驱动的应用程序中使用，如Orbot。 您可以从 Tor 浏览器的内置网桥菜单中选择 Snowflake。
  • meek: makes it look like you are browsing a website instead of using Tor. 不过，因带宽限制这种网桥连接较慢。 你可以从 Tor 浏览器内置的网桥选项中选择 meek。

俄罗斯

Since December 2021, many Internet providers in Russia have been blocking direct connections to the Tor network, so users generally need to connect through a bridge. The obfs4 bridge type remains the most widely used in Russia, but some mobile ISPs have begun blocking it through Deep Package Inspection (DPI). In those cases, switching to WebTunnel bridges hosted on less well-known providers (rather than major hosts like OVH, Hetzner, Linode, or DigitalOcean) can help you bypass these restrictions.

土库曼斯坦

在土库曼斯坦，直接访问 Tor 网络受到严格限制。 The most reliable way to connect with Tor Browser is usually through Snowflake, and using AMP cache as the front domain. It's also possible to connect using obfs4 bridges, but users need to find bridges hosted on less-well-known providers rather than major hosting companies, since they are frequently blocked.

白俄罗斯

If you are connecting to Tor from Belarus, there are several options you can try.

下载 Tor 浏览器

如需获取更新版本的 Tor 浏览器，请尝试我们的 Telegram 机器人：@GetTor_bot。

1. Direct connection

The first and easiest option to try is a direct connection to Tor, which could be available on some ISPs. Open Tor Browser and click or tap "Connect".

2. Using a Tor bridge

If the direct connection to the Tor network didn't work, you may need to use a Tor bridge. At the moment, we aren't aware of any specific bridge blocking mechanism in Belarus, so you can use obfs4, WebTunnel bridges, or snowflake.

Obfs4

如需获取 obfs4 网桥，请使用我们的 Telegram 机器人：@getbridgesbot。

Start the chat with the bot and type the command /obfs4.

WebTunnel

如需获取 WebTunnel 网桥，请使用我们的 Telegram 机器人：@getbridgesbot。

Start the chat with the bot and type the command /webtunnel.

Snowflake

If the direct connection doesn't work, try using Snowflake.

Using Snowflake with Tor Browser for Android

  1. Tap "Configure connection" when on the "Connect to Tor" screen.
  2. Navigate to the "Connection" section in Settings.
  3. Tap "Config Bridge" to configure a bridge.
  4. With the "Use a Bridge" option select "Snowflake".
  5. Return to the "Connect to Tor" screen and tap "Connect".

Using Snowflake with Tor Browser for Desktop

If you have Tor Browser running,

  1. Click "Settings" in the hamburger menu (≡) and then go to "Connection" in the sidebar.
  2. In the "Bridges" section, from the option "Choose from one of Tor Browser's built-in bridges" select "Snowflake".
