What if Tor is blocked where I am?
Answer
Use a bridge. It routes your Tor connection through an unlisted relay, hiding that you use Tor.
Short answer. Use a Tor bridge. It routes your connection through a relay that is not on the public list of Tor nodes, which hides that you are using Tor and gets you past a block.
When you need one
Use a bridge if Tor Browser cannot connect, connects very slowly, or if the Tor Project site itself is blocked where you are. If Tor is not blocked, skip it, because a bridge only adds latency.
How to set one
Open the connection settings, choose to use a bridge, pick the built-in obfs4 option or request one from the Tor Project, and restart. A bridge changes how you reach Tor but nothing about verifying an Awazon address.
