How do bridges work in Tor Browser?
Tor bridges are meant to integrate your Tor connection with normal web traffic. A number of methods are employed in this regard including replication of web traffic dynamics, disguising data, and distributing entry points cleverly. You can, thus, hide the fact that the traffic is originating from Tor by making the bridges appear as if they are ordinary websites. Through the use of bridges, you will be able to stay anonymous, especially in areas where the internet is censored. However, this comes in handy for activists, journalists, etc., who have a need to share vital information while remaining anonymous.
Bridges in Tor Browser
Tor browser is an incredible utility that routes all traffic via secure channels thus guaranteeing total privacy when accessing the Internet. Nevertheless, several authoritarian regimes go to great lengths to deny their citizens access to the Tor network as a whole. These are the areas where Tor bridges take effect. Tor bridges are specialized, hidden servers meant to act as secret entry points of the Tor network. This occurs by initially connecting via a bridge whereby your traffic is veiled to appear as ordinary innocuous browsing.
