Using Bridges
-------------
If your access to the internet is censored, you can configure OnionShare to connect to the Tor network using `Tor bridges <https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/bridges.html.en>`_. If OnionShare successfully connects to Tor, you don't need to use a bridge.
To configure bridges, open OnionShare settings.
You can use the built-in obfs4 pluggable transports, the built-in meek_lite (Azure) pluggable transports, or custom bridges, which you can obtain from Tor's `BridgeDB <https://bridges.torproject.org/>`_. If you need to use a bridge, you should try the built-in obfs4 ones first.
