Progress on integrating Conjure into Tor Browser continues. Now it's available in pre-compiled form in Tor Browser nightly builds, for desktop and Android.
Conjure is not yet made visible as a default bridge option in the UI. The necessary software is preinstalled, but you need to manually enter a bridge line.

The bridge-moji should be 🔮🌳🌙🫒.
The developers are looking for success or failure reports. This is your chance to be able to say: "I was there—I was using Conjure in Tor Browser when it was still only in nightly builds" :grin:
Conjure is now packaged with normal alpha builds of Tor Browser. You still have to enable it manually.
Desktop
- Download and install the latest alpha version of Tor Browser for Desktop (make sure you have a backup of your existing browser setup). https://www.torproject.org/download/alpha/
- Open Tor Browser and navigate to the Connection preferences window. Or Click on “Configure Connection…”. Menu > Settings > Connection (about:preferences#connection)
- Click on “Add a Bridge Manually”. Copy and add the bridge line below in the field.
conjure 143.110.214.222:80 url=https://registration.refraction.network.global.prod.fastly.net/api front=cdn.sstatic.net
- Click “OK” to close the bridge dialog. Finally, scroll up and click on “Connect”.
- If you see a purple screen “Test. Thoroughly.” or if your Tor Browser Alpha was updated, you will see "Tor Browser has been updated”. Then, it means Conjure is working and you can use it for your browsing activities.
- Take note of any issues, errors, or unexpected behavior you encounter while trying to connect to Tor using Conjure.
Android
- Download and install the latest alpha version of Tor Browser for Android. Tor Project website, Google Play, or the Guardian Project F-Droid. If you need help to install from F-Droid, check out the Tor Browser User Manual.
- When you run Tor Browser for the first time, you will see the option to connect directly to the Tor network, or to configure Tor Browser for your connection with the settings icon.
- Tap on the settings icon. Tor Browser will take you through a series of configuration options. The first screen will tell you about the status of the Tor Network and provide you the option to configure a Bridge (‘Config Bridge’). Tap on ‘Config Bridge’.
- Choose the “Provide a Bridge I know” option and then enter this bridge address:
conjure 143.110.214.222:80 url=https://registration.refraction.network.global.prod.fastly.net/api front=cdn.sstatic.net
- Tap ‘OK’ and, if everything works well, it will connect.
Submit your feedback
Submit your feedback and findings here on this topic or use Conjure GitLab repository for technical reports. Include a clear description of the problem, your Tor logs, steps to reproduce it, and any relevant details.
By testing Conjure and reporting any issues, bugs, or suggestions, you will contribute significantly to refining its performance and optimizing its capabilities. Your participation will not only benefit the Tor community but also help advance the Internet freedom community.
@cohosh writes with an opportunity to test a Conjure pluggable transport for Tor, before it is made part of the alpha Tor Browser. At this point you have to compile it yourself. The team is looking for developer feedback. We have talked about Conjure before at #18.
