Especially for the less tech-savvy among us?

    It’s also a specific procol, which can absolutely be blocked. I don’t know where this notion that it’s impossible to block tor because it was designed to be censorship resistant came from, but you can absolutely stop people from using it.

    It’s not even that hard and there’s nothing end users can do about it if they don’t know how to circumvent it…

      Being able to be blocked is a completely different thing than being centralized service.

      […] there’s nothing end users can do about it if they don’t know how to circumvent it…

      I mean, if users don’t know how to circumvent something, by definition there is nothing that they can do about it.

      However, unless this hypothetical censoring country is blocking all encrypted network traffic it is trivial to access TOR via a VPN or an SSH tunnel
