There's a whole project dedicated to providing internet security for people in Iran. It's called the Haystack Project.


Its main site is here:http://www.haystacknetwork.com/

Please check if you haven't removed hashes from some lines that were there already, I suspect these two:

#BridgeRelay 1
#ExitPolicy reject *:*

The hashes should be there, since you don't want to be a bridge relay yourself!

If you're unsure, you can uninstall tor package, if the current torrc file will be still there you can remove it ("sudo rm /etc/tor/torrc" should work), then reinstall the package, and add your four lines again, without hashes and without touching anything else.

you were right, took the hashes off those 2 lines and that warning went away. unfortunately, it's been 10 minutes (on WLAN) and it still says connecting. And I'm using fresh bridges.
Looks like I'll have to wait some more for a solution.

I'll be using this only for emergency uses. still on the lookout for something more stable/faster.

ps - how's the weather in guangzhou? do you think Chengdu is too cold to visit next month for 春节?

Sometimes it is very slow, but usually it is okay. Occasionally refreshing the loading page may help, as Tor changes connection circuits from time to time, and may change to a better one.
