در حال حاضر در حال دریافت درخواست‌های زیادی برای پشتیبانی از ایران هستیم و وضعیت در دست بررسی است. می‌خواهیم که به تمامی درخواست‌ها پاسخ دهیم، اما این کار از توان ما خارج است.
اگر با اشکالاتی در اتصال به Tor از ایران مواجه هستید، قبل از برقراری تماس با ما از طریق کانال‌های پشتیبانی‌مان، لطفاً یکی از این راهکارها را امتحان کنید:
نسخهٔ Tor Browser را بررسی و به آخرین نسخه به‌روزرسانی کنید
لطفاً مطمئن شوید که از آخرین نسخهٔ Tor Browser استفاده می‌کنید.
اگر قادر به دریافت به‌روزرسانی‌ها نیستید، می‌توانید به ما در frontdesk@torproject.org بگویید، که در حال اجرای کدام نسخهٔ Tor ‌Browser و پلتفرم (سیستم‌عامل) هستید؟
می‌توانید آخرین نسخه را از سرورهای آیینه‌ای ما بارگیری کنید:
اگر دستیار اتصال نمی‌تواند مکان شما را تشخیص دهد، یا اینکه می‌خواهید اتصال‌تان را به صورت دستی پیکربندی کنید، می‌توانید منطقهٔ خود را از منوی پایین‌ریز انتخاب (به عنوان مثال ایران) و روی ‘امتحان یک پل’ کلیک کنید.
Snowflake در ایران کار می‌کند. لطفاً این دستورالعمل‌ها را برای اتصال به شبکهٔ Tor از طریق انتقال اتصال‌پذیر Snowflake دنبال کنید.
استفاده از Snowflake در Tor Browser Desktop
۱. روی ‘پیکربندی اتصال’ در صفحهٔ شروع کلیک کنید، یک زبانهٔ جدید باید باز شود.
۲. به پایین ‘پل‌ها’ بروید و روی ‘انتخاب یک پل درون برنامه’ کلیک کنید
۳. از میان گزینه‌ها ‘snowflake’ را انتخاب کنید
برای استفاده از Snowflake، هنگامی که برای اولین بار Tor Browser را باز می‌کنید روی آیکون تنظیمات ضربه بزنید.
روی ‘پیکربندی پل’، ضربه بزنید تا یک پل را پیکربندی کنید.
اگر آن کار هم جواب نداد، ما می‌توانیم تعدادی پل خصوصی به اشتراک بگذاریم که به شما اجازه می‌دهند به شبکهٔ Tor وصل شوید. لطفاً با frontdesk@torproject.org تماس بگیرید و ‘Connect Iran’ را به موضوع ایمیل خود اضافه کنید.
اگر آدرس یک پل کاردهنده دارید
استفاده از پل‌ها در Tor Browser Desktop
لطفاً به یاد داشته باشید که آدرس کامل پل را کپی کنید و سطر را همانگونه که هست جای‌گذاری کنید.
استفاده از پل‌ها در Tor Browser برای Android
هنگامی که برای اولین بار Tor Browser را باز می‌کنید روی آیکون تنظیمات ضربه بزنید. اولین صفحه به شما دربارهٔ وضعیت شبکهٔ Tor می‌گوید.
روی «پیکربندی پل» ضربه بزنید، تا یک پل را پیکربندی کنید.
صفحهٔ بعدی گزینهٔ استفاده از یک پل داخلی و یا پل سفارشی را ارائه می‌دهد. با گزینش «استفاده از پل»، «یک پل که من می‌شناسم فراهم شود» را انتخاب کنید.
لطفاً به یاد داشته باشید که آدرس پل را کامل کپی کنید و سطر را همانگونه که هست جای‌گذاری کنید.

Currently we are receiving lots of requests for support from Iran. We are investigating the situation. If you are having issues connecting to the Tor network from Iran, before contacting us on our support channels, please try these solutions:
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”
If you’re unable to fetch updates, could you let us know on frontdesk@torproject.org which version of Tor Browser and platform (operating system) are you running?
You can also download the latest version from our mirror: https://tor.calyxinstitute.org/download/ or Telegram: Contact @GetTor_bot.
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 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
Click on ‘Configure Connection’ from the start-up screen and new tab should open up.
Scroll down to ‘Bridges’ and click on ‘Select a Built-in Bridge’
From the options opt for ‘snowflake’
Using Snowflake with Tor Browser for Android
To use Snowflake, tap on the settings icon when starting Tor Browser for the first time.
Tap on ‘Config Bridge’ to configure a bridge.
Tap on “Use a Bridge” option, and select “snowflake”.
If that doesn’t work as well, we can share some private bridges that will allow you to connect to the Tor network. Please contact frontdesk@torproject.org and add ‘Connect Iran’ to the subject of your email.
If you have a working Bridge address
Using Bridges with Tor Browser Desktop
If you’re starting Tor Browser for the first time, click “Configure Connection” to open the Tor settings window. Under the “Bridges” section, from the option “Enter a bridge address you already know” click on “Add a Bridge Manually” and enter each bridge address on a separate line. Click “Connect” to save your settings.
Or, if you have Tor Browser running, click on “Settings” in the hamburger menu (≡) and then on “Connection” in the sidebar. In the “Bridges” section, from the option “Enter a bridge address you already know” click on “Add a Bridge Manually” and enter each bridge address on a separate line. Your settings will automatically be saved once you close the tab.
Please remember to copy the complete bridge address and paste the line as it is.
Using Bridges with Tor Browser for Android

Shutdown of mobile networks in Iran, 2022-09-21
opened 01:47AM - 22 Sep 22 UTC
There are reports of shutdowns in some mobile ISPs in Iran since about 2022-09-2…1 16:00 UTC ([20:30 Tehran IRDT](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20220921T160000&p1=246&p2=1440), about 8 hours ago). I don't know much technical detail yet.

Is there any stats to show which method of obfd4 proxy distribution (Moat, https, etc…) is more accessible to Iranians? I can change the distribution method of all my bridges to that method.
Is there any way to dedicate a bunch of bridges exclusively to the Iranian population?
My understanding is that due to the massive demonstrations against the regime that are ongoing in Iran for the past 12 days, the government shuts down all mobile Internet and severely restricts home Internet connections at around 12:30 UTC (16:00 IRDT) every day to prevent people from organizing their gatherings which usually start at around 17:00 IRDT and to stop all communications between protesters.
More than 1200 people have been arrested and over 50 people have been killed during these protests. Providing the Internet access for Iranians right now is of the utmost importance to make sure the news and videos of the atrocities of the regime can get out and be distributed.
loreanvictor September 27, 2022, 8:45pm #19
In recent days a few of my friends have tried using the Snowflake bridge mostly to no avail, few times they succeeded in connecting, the speed was unusably slow. I initially thought it might be an issue with rendezvous process (since the technical write up on Snowflake indicates using google’s domain fronting, and at times even access to google is blocked in Iran), but testing myself (in Germany) I also got exceedingly slow speeds.
Is the slow speed related to number of active Snowflake proxies? I.e. if a lot more people were to run the Snowflake WebExtension, would it alleviate the speed issue?
Are there ways to overcome the potential issues with the rendezvous process as well? For example it might be possible to acquire servers in Iran with less restricted access and utilise them on this front, I suspect if the traffic they consume is low (which, for the rendezvous process it should be theoretically) it might be possible to keep them running under the radar.
dcf September 27, 2022, 9:55pm #20
The slow speed has mainly to do with resource overload at the bridge, which the anti-censorship team is working on. There is also a little bit of a problem with having sufficient proxies with unrestricted NATs.
At Graphs of user counts from Iran since the onset of shutdowns you can see how the number of Snowflake users has increased in the last few days. In the below graph you can see how bandwidth at the bridge has increased. The blue lines show where the server was restarted for upgrades; you can see what specifically happened at the Metrics Timeline. If you test during the times when the bridge is not overloaded, around 02:00 UTC, you will find that speeds are faster.
snowflake-01 bandwidth on network interface1400×600 91.8 KB
Here is more information about the work that has been done and the work that is in progress to keep the bridge running under the greatly increased load:
