I just don't understand why I would have gotten on just fine the 1st time using this Tor and this address and ever since it is giving me a problem loading page when I am doing the exact same thing that worked the first time? This is the correct address right?Your ISP may be using censorship software on its routers, I forget to mention this one. Not for SR, but the entire Tor network. It's a dumbass move, but some corporations and ISPs enjoy playing these little games. They are easily defeated.Sounds like you need a public tor bridge, and this is how:= How to obtain a bridge =1. On clearnet i.e. the regular web, go to https://bridges.torproject.orgYou will see a list of dotted quads e.g. 1.2.3.4:443 or 1.2.3.4:9001 and so on. These are IP addresses. The :443 or :9001 bits appended on the ends are called port numbers, and you have absolutely no need to know how it all works! Yay!Note: if you cannot get to https://bridges.torproject.org, then go to your Gmail or Yahoo mail and send an email with "get bridges" in the body of the email to bridges@torproject.org. Then they will send you an email with some bridges. Alternatively, ask that your pals in a less fucking commie-fascist part of the world send you some bridge IP addresses. If you are living in China, you will need a private obfuproxy bridge, but this is far beyond the scope of this mini tutorial.Protip: if it does turn out your ISP is blocking Tor, then switch provider. You cannot trust any ISP, but especially not one like that, at that rate they're probably reading your mail and storing it some place so they can fuck you over later as well.2. If you are using the TBB (Tor Browser Bundle, most people on SR are using it I would imagine), then go to Settings -> Network and tick the box that reads:"My ISP blocks connections to the Tor network".3. Now, copy paste the IP addresses you see at https://bridges.torproject.org into the text box that just appeared. One at a time. No need to get greedy, three or so will be fine.4. Click Ok and go back to your Tor Browser. Try connecting again.
