UPDATED ON: 2024-06-29 Recently i needed to use TOR to access some blocked resources and was faced quite nasty dropdown banner with the message, that the browser will drop Windows 7 support soon. The next major version of Tor browser (14.0) will no longer support this version of Windows. Please upgrade to Windows 10 or later by October 1st 2024 to conitinue receiving important security updates. Got it. Tor will be updated until release of FireFox 115.

UPDATED ON: 2022-03-16 Degenerative totalitarian regime in Russia just made [another pathetic attempt] to block TOR network. In previous try they’ve blocked only TCP datagrams. And now, it looks like that they have added UDP and ICMP to banned list also. If you experience difficulties in connecting to TOR network using bundled bridges like meek-azure, snowflake and obfs4 try these one: 159.69.156.131:9001 84.117.255.228:9001 37.120.182.1:12443 188.68.62.244:11443 50.7.178.34:443 87.174.114.28:9001 83.97.20.80:9001 80.241.214.102:443 80.

For the last 10 years Russian government [and not only Russian] had taken vector to oppress any free speech, which was so generic for internet communities of 90s. Many sites were blocked. Information portals, torrent trackers and even some news microstock sites, like [Alamy] were banned. In current situation i can only suggest to use [Tor Browser] or free VPN services. In case of TOR you trust your traffic to American special services, but doing so you can avoid contact with your local regulators.
