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

下方是在中国大陆获取 Tor 浏览器和连接到 Tor 网络的可靠方式。

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。 如果不起作用，可以发送邮件至 gettor@torproject.org，并根据相应的操作系统，在邮件主题上写明“Windows”、“Macos”或“linux”操作系统。

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

在中国，有以下选项可以解除对 Tor 的屏蔽：

  1. WebTunnel 网桥： 让浏览看起来和访问网页的常规 HTTPS 连接一样。 要获取 WebTunnel 网桥，请访问我们的网桥网站。 在“Advanced options”的“pluggable transport”中选择“WebTunnel”。 然后点击“获取网桥”。 只有 Tor 浏览器桌面版和 Android 版支持 WebTunnel 网桥。
  2. Snowflake： 使用临时代理连接到 Tor 网络。 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。
  3. 私有 obfs4 网桥： 联系我们的 Telegram 机器人 @GetBridgesBot 并输入 /obfs4。 或者发送邮件到 frontdesk@torproject.org，并且邮件主题需要包含“private bridge cn”。 如果你懂些计算机技术，可以自己在中国境外搭建并运行 obfs4 网桥。 请注意，从 Tor 网桥网站分发的 obfs4 网桥和 Tor 浏览器捆绑的内置 obfs4 网桥很可能无法使用。
  4. meek： 让人认为你是在浏览网站而不是使用 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。

对于通过邮件或网桥网站获取的 obfs4 或 WebTunnel 网桥，请按此指引在 Tor 浏览器中输入网桥地址。 如果一个选项不起作用，可以查看 Tor 日志并尝试另一个选项。

Russia

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.

Turkmenistan

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.

Belarus

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

下载 Tor 浏览器

To get an updated version of Tor Browser, try our Telegram bot: @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

To get obfs4 bridges please use our Telegram bot: @getbridgesbot.

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

WebTunnel

To get WebTunnel bridges please use our Telegram bot: @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".
