Tor 瀏覽器 Not Working? Troubleshooting Guide

Start with these basic checks before trying 進階 solutions:

1. Check your internet connection: Open a regular browser and verify your internet works. If your regular internet is down, Tor won't work either.
2. Restart Tor 瀏覽器: Close Tor 瀏覽器 completely and relaunch it. Click "Connect" and wait at least 30 seconds. Many connection issues resolve with a simple restart.
3. Check the time and date: Tor requires your system clock to be accurate. If your computer's time is wrong by more than a few minutes, Tor cannot establish connections. Sync your system clock.
4. Disable your firewall temporarily: Firewalls can block Tor's connections. Temporarily disable your firewall to test. If Tor works with the firewall off, add Tor 瀏覽器 as an allowed application.
5. Try a different network: Some Wi-Fi networks (corporate, school, hotel) block Tor traffic. Try connecting from a different network or use mobile data.

If your ISP or country blocks direct Tor connections, 橋接 are the solution:

1. Open Tor 瀏覽器 and go to Connection Settings (click the hamburger menu → Settings → Connection)
2. Enable 橋接: Check "Use a 橋接" and select one of the built-in options:
   • obfs4: The most commonly used 橋接 type. Disguises Tor traffic as random data. Try this first.
   • Snowflake: Uses WebRTC to route through volunteer-operated proxies. Good when obfs4 is blocked.
   • meek-azure: Disguises Tor traffic as connections to Microsoft Azure. Slowest but hardest to block.
3. Request 橋接 manually: If built-in 橋接 don't work, email 橋接@torproject.org from a Gmail or Riseup address to request 橋接 addresses
4. Use BridgeDB: Visit 橋接.torproject.org from a non-Tor 瀏覽器 to get 橋接 addresses

橋接 are essential for users in 中國, 伊朗, 俄羅斯, and other countries with heavy 網際網路審查.

If Tor 瀏覽器 connects but pages load extremely slowly:

• Request a new circuit: Click the lock icon next to the URL bar → "New Circuit for this Site." This assigns different Tor 中繼 that may be faster.
• Reduce security level: The "最安全" security level disables JavaScript and some content, which can make sites appear broken but is not a speed issue. Try "更安全" level to see if it helps.
• Avoid peak times: Tor traffic varies by time of day. If speeds are unusually slow, try again later.
• Check for VPN conflicts: If you're using VPN + Tor, some VPN protocols can slow Tor significantly. Try WireGuard (fastest) instead of OpenVPN.
• Update Tor 瀏覽器: Older versions may have performance issues. Check for updates in the hamburger menu → Help → About Tor 瀏覽器.
• Disable unnecessary extensions: If you've added extensions to Tor 瀏覽器 (not recommended), they can slow down browsing. Use the default configuration.
