You might be on a network that is blocking the Tor network, and so you should try using bridges.
|
||||
Some bridges are built in to Tor Browser and requires only a few steps to enable it.
|
||||
When you open Tor Browser for the first time, click "Tor Network Settings".
|
||||
Under the "Bridges" section, select the checkbox "Use a bridge", and choose the "Select a built-in bridge" option.
|
||||
From the dropdown, select whichever [pluggable transport](https://tb-manual.torproject.org/transports/) you'd like to use.
|
||||
To use a pluggable transport, click "Configure Connection" when starting Tor Browser for the first time. Under the "Bridges" section, locate the option "Choose from Tor Browser's one of built-in bridges" and click on "Select a Built-In Bridge" option. From the menu, select whichever [pluggable transport](https://tb-manual.torproject.org/circumvention/) you'd like to use.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you've selected the pluggable transport, scroll up and click "Connect" to save your settings.
|
||||
|
||||
Or, if you have Tor Browser running, click on "Preferences" (or "Options" on Windows) in the hamburger menu (≡) and then on "Tor" in the sidebar.
|
||||
In the "Bridges" section, select the checkbox "Use a bridge", and from the option "Select a built-in bridge", choose whichever pluggable transport you'd like to use from the dropdown.
|
||||
Your settings will automatically be saved once you close the tab.

When you use Tor, you are sending queries through exit relays that are also shared by thousands of other users. Tor users typically see this message when many Tor users are querying Google in a short period of time. Google interprets the high volume of traffic from a single IP address (the exit relay you happened to pick) as somebody trying to "crawl" their website, so it slows down traffic from that IP address for a short time.

You can try 'New Circuit for this Site' to access the website from a different IP address.

An alternate explanation is that Google tries to detect certain kinds of spyware or viruses that send distinctive queries to Google Search. It notes the IP addresses from which those queries are received (not realizing that they are Tor exit relays), and tries to warn any connections coming from those IP addresses that recent queries indicate an infection.
