1
00:00:00,860 --> 00:00:01,400
OK.

2
00:00:01,430 --> 00:00:05,030
So now that we know what bridges and will transports.

3
00:00:05,090 --> 00:00:12,740
Ah let's see how we can get them and configure our tour browser to use them so we can access tor even

4
00:00:12,890 --> 00:00:19,580
if it's being blocked by our Internet service provider or by our network administrator.

5
00:00:19,610 --> 00:00:22,070
So the first thing you want to do is right here.

6
00:00:22,070 --> 00:00:24,410
I have my normal Firefox browser.

7
00:00:24,410 --> 00:00:32,690
This is not tour browser and I've loaded the bridge database which you can get by going to bridges the

8
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,610
Tor Project dot org.

9
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:41,340
I'm going to include this link in the resources of this lecture and once you're here you can just click.

10
00:00:41,390 --> 00:00:49,370
Just give me bridges to get the normal bridges that allow you to access tor if the firewall is only

11
00:00:49,370 --> 00:00:51,890
blocking the known tor nodes.

12
00:00:51,890 --> 00:01:00,350
So if it's not using DPA and we can also set the advanced options here and select a plug ABL transport

13
00:01:00,830 --> 00:01:08,840
so that we can access tor even if the firewall is used in deep packet filtering analyzing our traffic

14
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,970
and blocking all traffic.

15
00:01:10,970 --> 00:01:13,270
That seems like it's tor traffic.

16
00:01:14,980 --> 00:01:16,980
So I'm going to keep everything the same.

17
00:01:16,990 --> 00:01:22,210
I'm going to keep using the same plug all transport but as you can see we have a number of options that

18
00:01:22,210 --> 00:01:24,370
you can try if one of them didn't work.

19
00:01:24,370 --> 00:01:28,780
You can try the other one but I'm going to keep this on OPs 4.

20
00:01:28,900 --> 00:01:32,660
So right now all I have to do is just click on get ridges.

21
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:40,780
But if this page did not load for you because chances are if your service provider is blocking you from

22
00:01:40,780 --> 00:01:44,620
using Tor they might be blocking this as well.

23
00:01:44,620 --> 00:01:51,880
So in order to get your bridges you can send an email to bridges a Tor Project dot org.

24
00:01:51,970 --> 00:01:59,300
You have to send this email from either a g mail a Yahoo or a rise up account once you do that.

25
00:01:59,310 --> 00:02:06,180
If you just type in bridges in the email you will actually get an email with all of the available bridges

26
00:02:06,270 --> 00:02:10,860
and plug up will transports similar to the email that I got right here.

27
00:02:10,860 --> 00:02:17,970
So if I wanted to get normal bridges so bridges that you can get by clicking on the green button here

28
00:02:18,330 --> 00:02:26,890
all I have to do is just send an email saying Get bridges or if I want to get a bridge that uses applicable

29
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:36,090
transport so similar to me clicking on the purple button here then I can send get transport followed

30
00:02:36,090 --> 00:02:38,040
by the transport type.

31
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:44,250
And again as you can see the available transport types are similar to the available transport types

32
00:02:44,250 --> 00:02:48,560
here that we get when we click on the dropdown list.

33
00:02:48,910 --> 00:02:55,810
So let me show you how to get the transports if this page is blocked so all I have to do is compose

34
00:02:55,810 --> 00:03:04,330
a new email we're going to send this to bridges are detour project dot org and I'm going to say I want

35
00:03:04,330 --> 00:03:13,870
to get transport so we're doing this command and the transport that I want to get is the ops for so

36
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:20,920
space ops for we're going to send this and this will take less than a minute and you should get your

37
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:28,810
bridges in an email in your inbox and perfect as you can see I have an e-mail here.

38
00:03:28,990 --> 00:03:38,620
If we click on this you'll see I have my bridges which I can just copy and paste them in my tor browser.

39
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:44,910
But as you can see right here it's working for me and it could be working for a lot of you.

40
00:03:44,950 --> 00:03:52,190
So if this was working all you have to do is just literally click on get bridges it's going to ask me

41
00:03:52,190 --> 00:03:58,610
to fill up the captcha so I'm going to set this to Q So I'm going to try to fill it.

42
00:03:58,610 --> 00:04:07,420
Hopefully I get it right from the first time and perfect as you can see I have my bridges that use the

43
00:04:07,510 --> 00:04:10,470
obs for plug eyeball transport as you can see.

44
00:04:10,810 --> 00:04:13,980
So all I have to do is select all those already selected.

45
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:21,010
I'm going to copy it control C and then I'm gonna go to my tor browser which I have already loaded before

46
00:04:21,580 --> 00:04:26,070
I'm gonna go on tour network settings.

47
00:04:26,300 --> 00:04:28,020
I'm going to take the first walks.

48
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,430
Tor is censored in my country.

49
00:04:31,430 --> 00:04:37,210
I'm going to click on provide a bridge that I know and I'm going to paste the bridges that I just copied.

50
00:04:37,220 --> 00:04:39,420
Control V and I'm done.

51
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:47,240
I'm going to click on Okay now tor should be going through the bridges that we just configured it so

52
00:04:47,330 --> 00:04:54,380
if again you'd only need to do this if this page did not load or if it loaded and told you you're not

53
00:04:54,380 --> 00:04:56,360
using the Tor browser.

54
00:04:56,390 --> 00:05:00,920
So in my case it's already working but I'm just gonna double check to make sure that I didn't break

55
00:05:00,980 --> 00:05:08,060
anything by using the bridges and perfect as you can see it's telling me that Tor is working and all

56
00:05:08,060 --> 00:05:11,330
my traffic is going through the Tor network right now.

57
00:05:12,700 --> 00:05:19,000
Now like I said with this method you might notice that the connection will get a little bit slower than

58
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:25,900
a normal Tor connection again because obviously the traffic is being obfuscated to make it look like

59
00:05:25,930 --> 00:05:29,670
it's normal traffic and not tor traffic.

60
00:05:29,710 --> 00:05:37,510
Also like I said and worst case scenario even if this didn't work your Internet service provider will

61
00:05:37,510 --> 00:05:44,080
be able to know that you're using Tor but they won't really be able to see which websites you're trying

62
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,610
to go to unless they run a more active attack.

63
00:05:48,610 --> 00:05:55,660
So if being flagged as a terror user would put you in trouble in your country or if you don't want to

64
00:05:55,660 --> 00:06:03,490
be identified as a person that could be used in Tor then a really good solution is to use a VPN and

65
00:06:03,490 --> 00:06:05,980
I'll talk about that in the next lecture.

66
00:06:05,980 --> 00:06:13,430
But for now this is a free and a very good solution to access the Tor network if it's being blocked.
