## Avoiding Censorship
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Although Tox is distributed, to initially connect to the network
|
||||||
|
[public bootstrap nodes](https://nodes.tox.chat) are used. After first run,
|
||||||
|
other nodes will also be saved and reused on next start. We have seen multiple
|
||||||
|
reports of Tox bootstrap nodes being blocked in China. We haven't seen reports
|
||||||
|
of Tox connections in general being blocked, though Tox makes no effort to
|
||||||
|
disguise its connections. There are multiple options available to help avoid
|
||||||
|
blocking of bootstrap nodes:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Tox can be used with a VPN.
|
||||||
|
* Tox can be used with a proxy, including with Tor
|
||||||
|
* This can be done at [startup](#commandline-proxy-options) or
|
||||||
|
* By setting [connection settings](#connection-settings).
|
||||||
|
* [Custom bootstrap nodes](#bootstrap-nodes) can be set. Note that these
|
||||||
|
require the DHT key of the node, which is different from the longterm Tox
|
||||||
|
public key, and which changes on every start of a client, so it's best to use a
|
||||||
|
[bootstrap daemon](https://github.com/TokTok/c-toxcore/tree/master/other/bootstrap_daemon).
