Tails learns the current time by connecting to the captive portal detection
service of [Fedora](https://getfedora.org/), which is used by most Linux
distributions. This connection does not go through the Tor network and is an
exception to our policy of only making Internet connections through the Tor
network.

It does so by camouflaging your connection so it cannot be recognized as a

that you are using Tor if it could look suspicious to someone who monitors
your Internet connection.

The technology used by Tor bridges is designed to circumvent censorship
where connections to Tor are blocked, for example in some countries with heavy censorship,
by some public networks, or by some parental controls.

Use a bridge as your first Tor relay if connecting to Tor is blocked or if
using Tor could look suspicious to someone who monitors your Internet

Using a public Tor relay as your first Tor relay makes it clear to your local
network that you are connecting to Tor, while still keeping your online
activity secure and anonymous.

Most of the time, your local network does not block access to the Tor network
and you can use a public relay as your first Tor relay.
