Tor Bridges Updater

Besides allowing users access to .onion links, Tor is also a viable browser to avoid censorship, whereby users who reside in countries under authoritarian regimes can circumvent some of the web restrictions their governments have put in place. Tor Bridges help you circumvent censorship, but it's not uncommon to find them blocked after a while.

Tor Bridges Updater is a tool that can help you stay on top of this and update your bridges accordingly. A scheduler can be set to notify you to change them, and the program can also log the new bridges in your torrc file.

At its core, the software works to notify users to update their Tor bridges. To that end, the interface is simple and practical to allow for a straightforward operation: you click Retrieve Now, and a new set of bridges for you to use will be available. You can copy them to your clipboard, or have the program show a QR code for them.

These bridges can then be inputted into your Tor browser, and you can enjoy skirting censorship for a while. With regard to reminding users to replace old bridges with new ones, this can be set up in the Settings menu, under Show notifications.

Under Settings, the program also provides you with a few useful options. Namely, the program can automatically modify bridges in your torrc file, as well as log your bridges to a separate text file. Both of these options are On by default.

You can also use a proxy to retrieve your bridges, as well as opt to distribute your bridges via IPv6 through the obfs4 transport type.

Tor Bridges Updater is a program that works for what it does: to remind you to change your Tor bridges periodically, based on a notifications schedule to your liking.
