I am connected to my university's WiFi running on OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 and have downloaded Tor, but it has a difficulty connecting to a relay directory. Does this process take a long time or is it possible that I need a bridge to access Tor?

It can take a while to connect to the relay directory, but you may want to setup a bridge to see if that helps. Educational organizations have a history of blocking Tor access so a bridge may be more successful for you.

If you can't use the automated bridge setups in the new TorBrowser, you can:

  1. visit https://bridges.torproject.org/ to get a bridge
  2. send an email to bridges@bridges.torproject.org with the line "get bridges" by itself in the body of the mail. This must be done from a GMail, Yahoo, or RiseUp account
