[tor-talk] Cannot finish handshake with directory server (Kazakhstan)
Hello,
I'm trying to use Tor from Almaty, Kazakhstan. It cannot connect to
the Tor network.
The error message says:
Problem bootstrapping. Stuck at 10%: Finishing handshake with
directory server. (DONE; DONE; count 35; recommendation warn)
My ISP is Almatytelecom (service trade name Megaline). Almatytelecom
is a branch of Kazakhtelecom which is notorious for its country-wide
Internet censorship. They usually block websites by IP address and TCP
port. For example, connections to all three IP addresses of
www.torproject.org (38.229.72.14, 38.229.72.16 and 86.59.30.36) on
port 443 are currently blocked, while ICMP pings to the same IPs work
fine.
I downloaded the latest Tor Browser Bundle for Linux
(tor-browser-gnu-linux-i686-2.2.35-7.2-dev-en-US.tar.gz) from a
torproject.org mirror via SSL and have carefully verified the
tarball's GPG signature and the fingerprint of its signer, Sebastian
Hahn.
I have configured Tor to use 12 bridges which were collected from
https://bridges.torproject.org over the past few days. TCP connections
are not blocked to at least 3 of the bridges. Still, Tor cannot
connect to the Tor network. A couple of days ago Tor couldn't connect
with the default settings, but everything worked fine once I
configured some bridges.
How do I debug this further? Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
