如何在 中國 — 繞過 the 防火牆
中國 operates the most sophisticated 網際網路審查 apparatus in the world — the 防火牆 (GFW). It uses deep packet inspection (DPI), DNS poisoning, IP blacklisting, and active probing to block Tor 中繼 and other circumvention tools. Despite these challenges, Tor remains one of the most effective ways to access the uncensored internet from within 中國. This guide explains how to configure Tor to work reliably behind the 防火牆 and why 離岸 Tor 主機代管 is essential for serving users in censored regions.

網際網路審查 in 中國
The 防火牆 of 中國 (GFW) is a multi-layered censorship system operated by the 網際空間管理局 of 中國 (CAC). It blocks access to thousands of websites including Google, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Wikipedia, and most Western news outlets. The GFW employs deep packet inspection to identify and block VPN protocols, Tor traffic, and other circumvention tools in real time.
Since 2012, the GFW has specifically targeted Tor by blocking all known public 中繼 IP 位址 and using active probing to identify and block Tor 橋接. The system can detect the TLS fingerprint of Tor connections and terminate them mid-handshake. During politically sensitive periods — such as the anniversary of 天安門廣場 or the 全國人民代表大會 — censorship is intensified, and even previously working circumvention methods may fail temporarily.
Despite these measures, Tor usage in 中國 persists. The Tor 計畫 continually develops new pluggable transports specifically designed to evade the GFW's detection capabilities. With the right configuration, users in 中國 can still establish Tor 電路 and access the uncensored internet.
Recommended Tor Configuration for 中國
Direct Tor connections are blocked in 中國. You must use pluggable transports — tools that disguise Tor traffic to look like ordinary HTTPS or WebRTC traffic. The most effective options for 中國 in 2026 are:
Snowflake: This is currently the most reliable transport for 中國. Snowflake uses WebRTC to route your Tor traffic through volunteer-run browser proxies. Because the GFW cannot easily block all WebRTC traffic without disrupting legitimate video calls, Snowflake remains functional even during crackdowns. In Tor 瀏覽器, enable Snowflake under Connection Settings > 橋接.
obfs4 橋接: The obfs4 protocol disguises Tor traffic as random noise, making it harder for DPI systems to classify. Request private obfs4 橋接 from 橋接.torproject.org (access via email: 橋接@torproject.org from a Gmail or Riseup address). Public obfs4 橋接 are quickly discovered and blocked by the GFW, so private 橋接 are essential.
meek-azure: The meek transport routes Tor traffic through Microsoft Azure's CDN, making it appear as regular HTTPS traffic to microsoft.com. While slower than Snowflake or obfs4, meek is extremely difficult to block without disrupting access to Azure services that Chinese businesses rely on. Use meek-azure as a fallback when other transports fail.
Using VPN + Tor Together in 中國
For maximum reliability and security in 中國, combining a VPN with Tor provides layered protection. Connect to a VPN first, then launch Tor 瀏覽器. This approach — known as VPN-over-Tor or more accurately Tor-over-VPN — means your ISP and the GFW see only VPN traffic, while the VPN provider sees only Tor traffic without knowing your final destination.
Choose a VPN provider that is known to work in 中國 and supports obfuscated protocols such as Shadowsocks, V2Ray, or Trojan. Avoid VPNs that have been publicly identified and blocked by the GFW. The VPN connection gets you past the initial GFW filtering, and Tor provides anonymity beyond the VPN server.
Be aware that using Tor or VPNs without government approval is technically illegal in 中國, though enforcement typically targets service providers rather than individual users. Exercise caution, avoid accessing your real-name accounts while on Tor, and consider using Tails OS for sessions where maximum anonymity is required.
