<p>
The addition of bridges to Tor is a step forward in the blocking
resistance race. It is perfectly possible that even if your ISP filters
the Internet, you do not require a bridge to use Tor. Many filtering
programs look for unencrypted Tor directory requests to recognize that
you're using Tor, but Tor version 0.2.0.23-rc and later use encrypted
directory queries by default. This change means that most filtering
programs are now unable to recognize Tor connections. So you should try
the Internet, you do not require a bridge to use Tor. So you should try
to use Tor without bridges first, since it might work.
