Request for Tor users. Need some help

[gaurmiaur]

Hello
Please help me with bridges.  Chinese banned all bridges again. Cannot use Tor at all.
Could You give more bridges to bypass chinese blocking measures or give me idea how to resolve this problem another way?

Okay... Did you look here?

https://bridges.torproject.org/

If you can't open it - just send email with the line "get bridges" to bridges@torproject.org.

+1, from your log it seems like you have a DPI firewall in line that blocks tor packets so you could try using obfsproxy tor bundle to circumvent it.

Surely I did. And sent e-mail too. Several times today. Unfortunately it doesn't work

In order to use the email functionality for getting bridges, you have to send from either a Yahoo or a Gmail account. I went to the http://bridges.torproject.org/ site and got the following bridges - not sure if they will work for you or not:

bridge 83.250.157.143:1337
bridge 80.67.172.115:9001
bridge 107.21.173.96:443

If you have IPv6, you can try [2001:948:7:2::164]:6001

Thank You, but I've got bridges both ways. All that bridges doesn't work.

Tried it too. It fails on another step: loading relay information

Guys, I've done it. Using ofbs-tor added to the list 3 fresh bridges and it connected!

I see a torrent in the background. I hope for the sake of the network that you aren't running it over Tor. Anyways, glad you got connected.

[gaurmiaur]

No, I don't try to use torrent over Tor. Even didn't think about it.

New one problem.
I use obfs - Tor. Until now everything was ok, but suddenly .omion sites stop opening. Vidalia's connected. But tor browaser don't connect to .omion sites anymore.
What to do?

Sorry if this isn't helpful, but... you're entering in .onion, not .omion, right?

Input correctly. It was wrong alarm, it works again.

[gaurmiaur]

But NEW problem came anyway 
Sometimes Tor doesn't working, starting to freeze since I launch it. I close it, launch again and it the same happens again and again until I reboot.
What is it and to do with it?

maybe you should reformat that windows pc and install a real OS, like linux Ubuntu for example

Maybe you shouldnt be a douche

i apologize if it sounded rude in someway, i still have problems expressing myself in english. What i was thinking was that he could have problems with the current OS so re-installing could solve the freezing problems.

[rapeghost]

Why not just use a VPN? Tor sucks.

[finway]

No way you could run a tor nodes in China.

I'd glad to, but it's impossible bacuse of the university internet. There is no linux analog for the program, which is used to connect to tnetwork.

Still actual.
I use this bunch of bridges

Sometimes everything works good, but sometimes Vidalia connects, but browser doesn't work, doesn't open anything

http://imgs.su/tmp/2012-05-15/1337044850-579.jpg

and then Vidalia starts to freeze, when I try to launch it.

[yodog]

maybe try only having 1 bridge that works properly, I had same issue, but it slowed waaaayyyy down.. I thought it was slow before, but using a bridge it was so much SLOWER.

I see it will take a lot of time to find which one works, don't want to waste time.
Fed up with the fact that Tor connects not any time and with  low speed of Tor decided to byu VPN and quiet happy.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/advtor/

Try using AdvOR.
It basically is just a bit more technical UI version of Tor.
May or may not work.

[nimda]

Well I am an opponent of the Great Firewall, so I'll be a bridge if you need one. Contact me via PM.

Let me get this straight.  China went to the effort of creating its own official Linux distro (Red Flag Linux, based on Asianux and Red Hat), a distro adopted for official use by the Chinese government over a dozen years ago, a distro developed by a company which is now majority owned by the Ministry of Information Industry and your University in China won't let you connect to the network using it?!

Wow.  That's special.

Telling the admins that you want to use the national operating system might be interesting.  Depending on how much you want to annoy them.  I'd avoid that, but if you start experimenting with Red Flag Linux you can always claim, if you get caught, that you thought it was okay to use the country's operating system.  After all, it's better than Windows. 

I think you'll find, though, that Linux is quite capable of connecting to the network, but the University admins just don't want to have to support it when people have problems.  Systems Administrators are pretty similar around the globe: the last thing they want to do is actually speak to the users.  The program will probably be some rebadged connectivity thing.

You may be able to analyse the connection to then work out how to connect to the network.  Once that's done, even if there are other programs which require Windows, you can always create a virtual machine to run Windows and those specific programs when you need them.
