### Kína

Below are reliable ways to obtain Tor Browser and connect from within China.

### 1. Szerezd be a Tor Böngészőt biztonságosan

To get an updated version of Tor Browser, try the Telegram bot first: @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. Próbáld ki a Csatlakozási segédet először

A telepítést követően a Tor Böngésző megpróbál csatlakozni a Tor hálózathoz. Ha a Tor blokkolt nálad, a Csatlakozási segéd megpróbál automatikusan csatlakozni egy hídhoz vagy Snowflake-hez. But if that doesn't work, the next step will be to obtain a bridge that works in China.

### 3. Híd opciók, amik működnek Kínában

#### WebTunnel

Try connecting to Tor using 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 you can use one of the following methods:

- Küldj egy üzenetet a @GetBridgesBot számára Telegramon. Koppints az "Indítás" gombra vagy gépeld be a `/start` szót a csevegésbe. Next, tap on 'webtunnel bridges' or type `/webtunnel` and copy the bridge addresses.
- Látogass el a Hidak oldalunkra. From the "Advanced options" select "WebTunnel", from the dropdown, as the pluggable transport. Then click on "Get Bridges".

Follow instructions to enter the bridge addresses in Tor Browser.

#### Egyéb lehetőségek

If WebTunnel does not work, you can try the following options from Tor Browser's built-in bridge menu:

- Snowflake: ephemeral proxykat használ a Tor hálózathoz csatlakozáshoz. It's available in Tor Browser and other Tor powered apps like Orbot.
- meek: a Tor használatodat egy weboldal böngészésének álcázza a Tor használatodat. However, because it has a bandwidth limitation, this option will be quite slow.

### Oroszország

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 Packet 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.

Find up-to-date instructions on how to circumvent censorship and connect to Tor from Russia on our forum guide: Tor blocked in Russia - how to circumvent censorship.

To get an updated version of Tor Browser, try the Telegram bot first: @gettor_bot.

### Türkmenisztán

In Turkmenistan, direct access to the Tor network is heavily restricted. 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.

### Fehéroroszország

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

### Tor Böngésző letöltése

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

### 1. Közvetlen kapcsolat

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. Egy Tor híd használata

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.
