Obfs4 bridges makes Tor traffic look random, and also prevents censors from finding bridges by Internet scanning. Obfs3 and scrablesuit bridges are deprecated. Vanilla bridges do not use pluggable transport at all, but like other bridges, they use servers that are not listed publicly. They use different methods of circumventing censorship.
Several types of pluggable transports can be used with bridges: obfs4, obfs3, scramblesuit, meek_lite, and snowflake. Pluggable transport is designed to transform ordinary Tor traffic to a special one, which is impossible or very difficult to block. But you can bypass blockage by using bridges with pluggable transport. Also, in some countries, ordinary Tor entry servers are blocked, and/or Tor network is blocked by DPI. Using bridges in combination with pluggable transports helps to disguise the fact that you are using Tor, but may slow down the connection compared to using ordinary Tor servers.
Like ordinary Tor servers, bridges are run by volunteers unlike ordinary servers, however, they are not listed publicly, so an adversary cannot identify them easily. Tor Bridge is the first server in the common chain of Tor servers, which is required to protect your privacy. It does, it is just not one click to use it.į/when that happens we'll add it as an option in the UI that will be enabled safely and we'll be sure to strip any sensitive data that may add to log files.Ordinary Tor connection Tor with Bridge connection You recommend againsta= changing configuration file even if it could save their lives? I recommend them using Tor Bridges if their Tor connection is blocked, contacting TPO If in need. You want us to drop what we're doing to make code changes to protect some hypothetical person in some hypothetical scenario from doing something that goes against multiple recommendations we make.Ĭensorship is not hypothetical, it is just not in your whereabouts įrom doing something that goes against multiple recommendations we make. You can't know every user configuration, fair, but you can guide them to have more security So to our knowledge no one has ever been affected by this.
