If you have problems fixing the clock, you can instead try to restart Tails and choose to [[connect to Tor automatically|tor#automatic]]. When connecting to Tor automatically, Tails fixes the clock automatically by connecting to the captive portal detection service of [Fedora](http://fedoraproject.org/static/hotspot.txt) before connecting to Tor.
<h2 id="portal">You need to sign in to the network</h2>
[[!inline pages="doc/anonymous_internet/unsafe_browser/captive_portal.inline" raw="yes" sort="age"]]
To sign in to a network using a captive portal:
In the error screen of the *Tor Connection* assistant, choose **Try Signing in to the Network**.
Wait until the *Unsafe Browser* starts.
Follow the instructions on the home page of the *Unsafe Browser*.
<h2 id="bridge">You need to configure a Tor bridge</h2>
[[!inline pages="doc/anonymous_internet/tor/bridge.inline" raw="yes" sort="age"]]
<h2 id="stuck">The progress bar gets stuck around 50%</h2>
When using a custom Tor *obfs4* bridge, the progress bar of *Tor Connection* sometimes gets stuck halfway through and becomes extremely slow.
[[!img stuck.png link="no" alt=""]]
To fix this, you can either:
Close and reopen *Tor Connection* to speed up the initial connection.
Try with [[another bridge|troubleshoot#bridge]].

<!--
On 2025-09-04, the Anticensorship Team believed that there were still many bridges with an obfs4 version earlier than 0.0.12.
Their "transport-info" info in cached-extrainfo is too new to give us reliable information.
-->
<p>This issue only affects outdated <i>obfs4</i> bridges and does not happen with
<i>obfs4</i> bridges that run version 0.0.12 or later.</p>
</div>
<h2 id="broken">The bridge is no longer operational</h2>
It is possible that the bridge that you entered is no longer working.
<h2 id="incorrect">You did not enter the bridge correctly</h2>
You can use *obfs4* and *WebTunnel* bridges in Tails right now.
An *obfs4* bridge looks like:
obfs4 1.2.3.4:1234 B0E566C9031657EA7ED3FC9D248E8AC4F37635A4 cert=OYWq67L7MDApdJCctUAF7rX8LHvMxvIBPHOoAp0+YXzlQdsxhw6EapaMNwbbGICkpY8CPQ iat-mode=0
A *WebTunnel* bridge looks like:
webtunnel [1234:567:890a:bcde:f123:4567:890a:bcde]:443 5F55B60FF2AEA996B5109BC338FC5F2BCA696F52 url=https://example.com/webtunnel ver=0.0.1
You need to enter the entire line, not just the IP address and port combination.
