Write a template to help censored users to provide helpful Tor logs and test results

While reaching out to #40030 (moved) TM people, I started to write down a step-by-step so that users can provide helpful information about the internet and Tor censorship. Later we can add this to the Support portal, Censorship section.

Test 1: Running emma-web

Goal: Test if your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is blocking the Tor Project's infrastructure and websites.

  1. Turn off your VPN (or other tools to circumvent censorship).
  2. Using your regular browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox), visit the website: http://emma.gus.computer
  3. Scroll down and click "RUN".

The test will try to connect to websites and report if they succeed or fails. Share the test results by email (frontdesk at torproject.org).

Test 2: Testing your vanilla Tor connection

Goal: Test if you can connect directly to the Tor network. Sometimes censors are blocking torproject.org website, but you can install Tor Browser and connect to the Tor network without using a Tor bridge.

  1. Turn off your VPN (or other tools to circumvent censorship).
  2. Open the Google Play Store or F-Droid, and install Tor Browser for Android.
  3. After installing, try to connect.
  4. If Tor doesn't connect, please swipe to left and share your Tor logs with us (frontdesk at torproject.org).
