1 00:00:00,810 --> 00:00:08,220 In the previous section we learned how your Internet service provider or your network admin could block 2 00:00:08,250 --> 00:00:10,380 you from access and tour. 3 00:00:10,380 --> 00:00:18,020 We also learned that we can use TOR Bridges or plug local transports to bypass this and access detour 4 00:00:18,030 --> 00:00:19,710 network. 5 00:00:19,770 --> 00:00:23,840 You might also want to use TOR Bridges or plug cable transports. 6 00:00:23,940 --> 00:00:30,450 Even if you're not being blocked from using tour if you just want to hide the fact that you are using 7 00:00:30,450 --> 00:00:38,310 Tor because as I mentioned previously when you use Tor your Internet service provider or your network 8 00:00:38,370 --> 00:00:45,450 admin or anyone who is intercepting connections they'll be able to know that you're using Tor they won't 9 00:00:45,450 --> 00:00:52,650 see the Web sites that you're accessing but they will be able to know that you're using the term network. 10 00:00:52,650 --> 00:00:58,050 Therefore if this is a problem if this is something that you want to hide then you might want to use 11 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:04,430 TOR Bridges or plug all transports now in the previous section I showed you how to do this. 12 00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:11,530 If you're using the Tor browser but right now we're not using Twitter browser anymore we're using tables. 13 00:01:11,580 --> 00:01:17,240 And like I said tables is configured to rout all traffic through the Tor network. 14 00:01:17,250 --> 00:01:19,350 Not only browsing traffic. 15 00:01:19,350 --> 00:01:26,010 Therefore if you want to use applicable transport or a bridge you need to configure the whole distribution 16 00:01:26,220 --> 00:01:32,390 to route all traffic through this plug transport or through this bridge. 17 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:38,160 So in this lecture I'm not going to talk a lot about how bridges work and how they allow us to bypass 18 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,000 censorship and use Tor even if it's blocked. 19 00:01:41,010 --> 00:01:47,570 I covered this in details previously so if you don't remember that please go back and revise that lecture. 20 00:01:47,610 --> 00:01:55,130 What I will cover here though is how to configure Thales to use bridges or plug all transports. 21 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,550 So right now I have tails. 22 00:01:57,570 --> 00:01:59,500 Beautiful right here. 23 00:01:59,670 --> 00:02:05,580 And as you can see I am able to connect to the tower network so I already went to check the Tor Project 24 00:02:05,580 --> 00:02:07,620 dot org and everything. 25 00:02:07,620 --> 00:02:10,280 As you can see is working as expected. 26 00:02:10,410 --> 00:02:17,310 We can also see here that The Onion icon does not have an X so it means that I'm properly connected 27 00:02:17,550 --> 00:02:24,780 to the tower network and if I click on this to open the tower circuits you'll see you will get information 28 00:02:24,810 --> 00:02:27,420 about the Tor circuits right here. 29 00:02:27,420 --> 00:02:33,260 So everything is working as expected but if this did not work for you. 30 00:02:33,300 --> 00:02:39,420 So if after loading tables and after connecting to a network you are still not able to connect to the 31 00:02:39,420 --> 00:02:40,230 TOR network. 32 00:02:40,470 --> 00:02:47,430 If you get an error if the onion here has an X then it is possible that your network administrator or 33 00:02:47,430 --> 00:02:53,550 your Internet service provider is preventing you from accessing Tor or if you just want to hide the 34 00:02:53,550 --> 00:03:01,770 fact that you're using Tor then we can configure Thales to use applicable transport or a bridge to do 35 00:03:01,770 --> 00:03:07,980 this we'll first need to restart the distribution because we already booted and we need to actually 36 00:03:07,980 --> 00:03:16,800 tell it that I want to use a plug all transport as soon as it starts so here at this welcome message 37 00:03:17,150 --> 00:03:24,510 you want to click on the plus here under the additional settings and we want to click on the network 38 00:03:24,510 --> 00:03:33,070 connection and I'm going to choose the second option in here configure a tower bridge or a local proxy. 39 00:03:33,420 --> 00:03:42,720 I'm going to click on add and then I will start tells so give it its time to load up the operating system 40 00:03:43,050 --> 00:03:50,700 and once it slows it'll show you this window right here which you can use to configure Thales to connect 41 00:03:50,730 --> 00:03:55,200 to the third network using a bridge or a proxy. 42 00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:00,650 Now if you notice here on the top right you can see there is an X beside the onion meaning that we're 43 00:04:00,660 --> 00:04:03,000 still not connected to the TOR network. 44 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:09,560 And if I go ahead now and run my browser I won't even be able to access the internet so I'm offline 45 00:04:09,660 --> 00:04:17,950 right now so I'm going to click on configure to configure the network settings and I'm going to check 46 00:04:17,950 --> 00:04:25,800 this option in here tor is censored in my country and then I'm going to paste the bridges or the plug 47 00:04:25,820 --> 00:04:28,600 all transports that I have in here. 48 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:35,580 Now I covered multiple methods on how you can get bridges and plug all transports use in emails or use 49 00:04:35,570 --> 00:04:40,820 in different domains so I'm not going to cover that here if you don't remember how to get them. 50 00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:45,100 Please go back and revise that lecture in the previous section. 51 00:04:45,100 --> 00:04:51,430 Right now I actually have my plug up of transport that I want to use on a USB stick so I'm going to 52 00:04:51,430 --> 00:04:57,520 connect that to Tales and this will also be a good example for you to see how you can interact with 53 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,500 the file system. 54 00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:06,150 So I'm just gonna go to my home directory just to open the file browser and we can see my removable 55 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,630 this right here. 56 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:14,990 I'm going to click it and I have my bridges in here and this text file which is dirty. 57 00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:20,870 As usual double click to open a normal text file it'll open in the default text editor. 58 00:05:21,250 --> 00:05:28,120 I'm going to select everything and copy it and then I'm gonna go back to my configuration window and 59 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,070 paste it here so now we're done. 60 00:05:31,190 --> 00:05:36,800 And all I have to do is click on Kinect 2 Kinect using this plug about transport. 61 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,930 Just a quick option that I want to highlight in here as well is the proxy option. 62 00:05:41,930 --> 00:05:44,900 You can take this box if you want to use a proxy. 63 00:05:45,140 --> 00:05:50,660 But right now all I want to do is just use this plug all transport which I already pasted. 64 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:57,780 So I'm just going to click on Kinect to use it and right now Thales is going to reconfigure my network 65 00:05:57,780 --> 00:06:04,680 settings so that all traffic within this operating system gets routed through this bridge through this 66 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,970 plug all transport and then through the Tor network. 67 00:06:09,180 --> 00:06:12,350 And as you can see right now it's telling me that Tor is ready. 68 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:18,660 And now we are connected to the Internet through this bridge and through this plug all transport again 69 00:06:18,660 --> 00:06:21,680 you can see the x has disappeared here from the Onion. 70 00:06:21,690 --> 00:06:23,880 Which means that I am connected. 71 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:30,900 And just to verify this I'm going to launch the Utah browser from applications and we're going to go 72 00:06:30,900 --> 00:06:40,030 to check the Tor Project dot org and perfect as you can see it's telling us that we are using detour 73 00:06:40,070 --> 00:06:44,720 network and our IP appears to be this IP right here. 74 00:06:44,750 --> 00:06:51,170 So everything is configured properly and we have Internet access through the Tor network and through 75 00:06:51,170 --> 00:06:58,330 this plug of all transport as I mentioned this can be very helpful if your internet service provider 76 00:06:58,450 --> 00:07:06,430 or your admin is preventing you from accessing detour network or if you don't want anyone to know that 77 00:07:06,430 --> 00:07:11,590 your access in detail or network if you want to hide the fact that you are using the Tor network.
