Help me diagnose my Tor blocked/censored ISP!

[Mike Perry]

Actually, let's break this thread off into a new one with new subject, too.

Sorry about the double-post. Just want to make sure this hits the
search engines.

Thus spake Daniel Franganillo (danielf at dilmun.ls.fi.upm.es):

Great! Now we're getting somewhere. Now, your question isn't "How do I
run a relay at a censored ISP" it's "Please help me use Tor at a
censored ISP." That is a question we are prepared to at least *try* to
answer :)

Can you access the following page:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TheOnionRouter/BlockingDiagnostics

If it too is blocked, blocked, it is also available via the
ssl-encrypted proxy link on ixquick:
https://us2.ixquick.com/do/metasearch.pl?q=TheOnionRouter+BlockingDiagnostics

Similarly it is in the Google Cache, which is now available over SSL.
https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:wDewL-f-g9gJ:https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TheOnionRouter/BlockingDiagnostics+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us


If you feel you can follow those instructions, can we meet on IRC? Can
you access #tor-dev on irc.oftc.net? Port 6697 is SSL, if you suspect
keyword filtering too.

Specify a time and we can give you a private bridge IP and try to
diagnose exactly how your ISP is blocking access to Tor.


P.S. The above goes for anyone who knows anyone having trouble
*accessing* the Tor network from anywhere else. Please contact me or
show up on #tor-dev. 

We are in desperate need of people inside China to help us with this.
So far we have zero people there who can help us diagnose what is
going on.
