The client in Syria can connect through the bridge in the US to reach the Tor network. Simplifying a bit, the bridge provides the reachability, and the Tor network provides the anonymity. See also https://www.torproject.org/docs/bridges Note that in Syria, at least today, you don't need a bridge to reach the Tor network. But if they started blocking the public Tor relays by IP address, then a bridge would solve that. --Roger _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
