Most Pluggable Transports, such as obfs4, rely on the use of "bridge" relays. Like ordinary Tor relays, bridges are run by volunteers; unlike ordinary relays, however, they are not listed publicly, so an adversary cannot identify them easily.

Using bridges in combination with pluggable transports helps to conceal the fact that you are using Tor, but may slow down the connection compared to using ordinary Tor relays.

Other pluggable transports, like meek and Snowflake, use different anti-censorship techniques that do not rely on finding bridge addresses. You do not need to obtain bridge addresses in order to use these transports.

PAGKUHA NG MGA ADDRESS NG BRIDGE

Because bridge addresses are not public, you will need to request them yourself. You have a few options:

  • Visit https://bridges.torproject.org/ and follow the instructions, or
  • Mag-email sa bridges@torproject.org mula sa isang Gmail, o email address ng Riseup
  • Use Moat to fetch bridges from within Tor Browser.
  • Magmensahe sa @GetBridgesBot sa Telegram. I-tap ang 'Start' o isulat ang /start o /bridges sa chat. Kopyahin ang address ng bridge at sa:
    • Tor Browser sa Desktop: I-click sa "Settings" sa hamburger menu (≡) at pagkatpos ay sa "Connection" sa sidebar. In the "Bridges" section, from the option "Enter a bridge address you already know" click on "Add a Bridge Manually" and enter each bridge address on a separate line.
    • Tor Browser sa Android: I-tap sa 'Settings' (⚙️) at pagkatapos ay sa 'Config Bridge'. Mag-toggle sa 'Use a Bridge' at piliin ang 'Provide a Bridge I know'. Ilagay ang address ng bridge.

Click "Connect" to save your settings.

Or, if you have Tor Browser running, click on "Settings" in the hamburger menu (≡) and then on "Connection" in the sidebar.

Manu-manong ilagay ang mga address ng bridge

If the connection fails, the bridges you received may be down. Please use one of the above methods to obtain more bridge addresses, and try again.

BRIDGE-MOJI

Each bridge address is represented by a string of emoji characters called Bridge-mojis. The Bridge-mojis can be used to validate that the intended bridge has been added successfully.

Bridge-mojis are human-readable bridge identifiers and do not represent the quality of connection to the Tor network or the state of the bridge. The string of emoji characters cannot be used as input. Users are required to provide the complete bridge address to be able to connect with a bridge.

The bridge addresses can be shared using the QR code or by copying the entire address.
