In particular, we know many NGOs that would be happy to run unpublished obfs4 bridges for their people, and give them private bridge addresses when they visit China.
There are several steps to following through with this idea.
Round one (minimum viable approach):
(1) Document for NGOs how to easily run a few private obfs4 bridges. I've seen some guides floating around but nothing both simple and obviously official.
(2) Document for NGOs how they should get these bridge addresses to their users, and how the users should add them to Tor Browser. On Android it seems that Orbot hooks the "bridge://" url, so sending bridge addresses via signal, email, etc should work: the user clicks on the bridge address, which launches Orbot which adds that bridge to its configuration. Having docs for actual users, with screenshots and stuff, would be the clear next step. On desktop the interface choices are messier: see #28015.
(3) Walk a few NGOs through the process from beginning to end, so we can confirm for ourselves that it works as intended, and so we can have a more direct connection to actual users to get feedback on all angles of the user experience.
Round two (once we like round one):
(4) Document for NGOs how to run a series of obfs4 bridges. This could start with one bridge address per computer, but the longer term answer is to have a single Tor client binding to many bridge addresses, maybe with help from the ISP to point these many bridge addresses to that Tor.
(5) Understand if private bridges actually work in China. Apparently Lantern uses obfs4 and they don't get blocked by DPI, so that's a good start, but I've also heard stories of DPI-based throttling. In step 3 above we'll get some anecdotal answers, but here we should design and deploy some recurring experiments from computers inside China that assess (a) connectivity, (b) whether it can bootstrap, and (c) throughput, through a private bridge.
(6) We should invent and document some best practices for where NGOs ought to run their bridges, and how many bridges they need per user. At the extreme bad end of the spectrum, they would run one bridge and give it to all of the people attending a given training -- and in that case, apart from the obvious "what if one of the users is bad and gets the address blocked" worry, discovering some of the users could lead to discovering other related users. At the other end of the spectrum is one bridge (on its own separate ISP) per user. What are some acceptable solutions in between?GusGushttps://gitlab.torproject.org/legacy/trac/-/issues/27558Update the link to "Your Guard note may not change"2020-06-16T00:50:41ZSukhbir SinghUpdate the link to "Your Guard note may not change"Currently, when you click on the circuit display in Tor Browser, the text "Your Guard note may not change.

The community team should consider awarding volunteers with socks instead of t-shirts. Socks are much better for at least 3 reasons:
1. They are a symbolic reference to SOCKS (obviously)
2. They can be worn in a much more clandestine fashion, which corresponds to the way Tor users browse the internet
3. They are smaller, so easier to transport (and cheaper)
They could be provided in various colour, like t-shirts are now - classic black, Tor green and Tor purple, all with Tor onion logo, would be solid choices.
I suggest providing them in sets of two pairs (4 individual sock pieces) to represent SOCKS4a. Better yet, they could be provided as 5 individual sock pieces in order to represent SOCKS5 and as a workaround to the common and dreaded missing sock problem. It could also be considered to provide them as three pairs (6 individual sock pieces, possibly each pair in different colour) in anticipation of a breakthrough in SOCKS technology and the introduction of SOCKS6.

When the browser is in a certain size there is a white bar at the bottom of the browser and at the top just under the address bar. If I drag the browser to reach from top to bottom it goes away and the site is normal. When this white bar is there I have trouble seeing the top and bottom of the website.

As we know tha last Tor nod is always open, not secured. I have heard that to use Tor together with VPN (first Tor and then VPN) then the last non-crypted Tor nod will be secured.
Also some VPN services they offer (like Windscribe) they offer Firefox add-on?
How to use Tor Browser with VPN? Will be last nod secured?
Can you let me know how about this, please?

It seems that some anti-virus are reporting any program that has not yet been seen by many of their users as suspicious. Maybe also that some malwares include a copy of tor, leading some antivirus to claim that any program including a copy of tor is a malware.
I think we should add a question about this on support.tpo, to explain that those warnings can be ignored if Tor Browser has been downloaded from the official website.GusGushttps://gitlab.torproject.org/legacy/trac/-/issues/32400Cannot obtain GPG keys2020-06-13T17:36:49ZTracCannot obtain GPG keys% gpg2 --search 0x4E2C6E8793298290

On Macintosh, Tor goes in the Applications directory and writes data to user/Library and other places.
On Windows, I use both Tor and Tor Alpha.
On Macintosh, I was using Tor Standard, I installed Tor Alpha, and it broke Tor on my Mac. Now Tor Standard cannot comment on Disqus (it could before I installed Tor Alpha), and cannot connect to trac.torproject.ort (I am using Tor Alpha on Windows).
I deleted the Tor files in user/Library, re-installed Tor Standard, but it no longer runs. At first, I could not comment on Disqus, and now Tor on my copy of El Capitan stopped working, it seems to be blocked, and is blocked even with Obfs4 or Meek turned on.
I tried deleting Tor Alpha and re-installing Tor Standard, but it does not work.
Where does Tor write its files? How can I go back to Tor standard on the Mac?
