中的 Tor 白俄羅斯 — Protect Yourself During Protests

白俄羅斯's 網際網路審查 escalated dramatically following the August 2020 presidential election. During the election and subsequent protests, the government imposed a near-total internet shutdown lasting three days — one of the most complete internet blackouts ever imposed in Europe. When connectivity was restored, dozens of independent news websites, Telegram channels, and social media platforms remained blocked.

The Operational Analytical Center (OAC) under the president manages 網際網路審查, working with Beltelecom (the state telecom monopoly that controls all international internet gateways). Blocked content includes the independent news outlets Tut.by, Nasha Niva, and Zerkalo.io, opposition Telegram channels, VPN provider websites, and human rights organization sites. The government has also blocked specific Tor 中繼 IP 位址.

The crackdown extends beyond censorship to prosecution. Over 1,500 people have faced criminal charges related to online activities since 2020, including for subscribing to opposition Telegram channels (which was criminalized in 2021), sharing protest videos, and criticizing the government online. Digital forensics on seized devices have been used as evidence, making device security and 匿名 communication tools critically important.

白俄羅斯 blocks Tor 中繼 IP 位址 and monitors for circumvention tool usage. Pluggable transports are essential:

Snowflake: The most reliable transport for 白俄羅斯. Snowflake's WebRTC connections 繞過 Beltelecom's IP-based blocking and DPI filtering. 白俄羅斯's DPI capabilities, while improved since 2020 (reportedly with Russian assistance), are not sophisticated enough to reliably detect Snowflake traffic. Enable Snowflake in Tor 瀏覽器's connection settings.

obfs4 橋接: Private obfs4 橋接 work well in 白俄羅斯. Request them from 橋接.torproject.org or via Telegram (@GetBridgesBot). Given the legal risks of Tor usage in 白俄羅斯, keeping 橋接 private is especially important — do not share them publicly or in group chats that may be monitored.

Downloading Tor 瀏覽器: If torproject.org is blocked, use the GetTor service (email [email protected]) or download from GitHub mirrors. Verify the download signature to ensure it has not been tampered with — the Belarusian government has been suspected of serving modified software through intercepted downloads.

Using a VPN before Tor is strongly recommended in 白俄羅斯, both for circumvention and for hiding your Tor usage. The government actively monitors for circumvention tool usage, and evidence of Tor connections logged by Beltelecom could be used against you. A VPN ensures Beltelecom sees only VPN traffic, not Tor.

Choose a VPN provider based outside 白俄羅斯 and 俄羅斯 (which cooperates closely with the Lukashenko government). Avoid VPNs with servers in 白俄羅斯, 俄羅斯, or other CIS countries. Providers based in EU countries, Switzerland, or 冰島 are preferred. Pay with 加密貨幣 to avoid financial records that could be traced.

For maximum security — especially for activists, journalists, and opposition members — use Tails OS for all sensitive online activities. Tails runs from a USB drive, routes all traffic through Tor, and leaves no traces on the host computer. This is critical in 白俄羅斯 where device seizure and forensic examination are routine parts of the government's prosecution of dissidents. Enable full-disk 加密 on all devices and use strong, unique passwords.
