Iran: Circumventing Censorship with Tor
Currently we are receiving lots of requests for support from Iran.
If you are having issues connecting to the Tor network from Iran, before contacting us on our support channels, please try these solutions:
Tor Browser Desktop
Check Tor Browser version and update to the latest
Please ensure you’re using the latest version of Tor Browser.
To check: click on the hamburger menu on top right, then click on ‘Settings’. Scroll down to the “Tor Browser Updates” section. Click on “Check for Updates”
You can also download the latest version from our mirror: https://tor.calyxinstitute.org/download
Connection Assist
Tor Browser 11.5+ ships with Connection Assist, that when required will offer to automatically apply the bridge configuration which works best in your location. If Connection Assist is unable to determine your location, or you want to configure your connection manually instead, you can select your region (i.e Iran) from the dropdown menu and click on ‘Try a Bridge’.
Snowflake
Snowflake is working in Iran. Please follow these instructions to connect to the Tor network through the Snowflake pluggable transport.
Using Snowflake with Tor Browser Desktop
1. Click on ‘Configure Connection’ from the start-up screen and new tab should open up. 2. Scroll down to ‘Bridges’ and click on ‘Select a Built-in Bridge’ 3. From the options opt for ‘snowflake’
