The Tor Project team has announced the release of Tor Browser 11.5, a major release that brings new features to help users fight censorship easier.

Tor 项目团队宣布发布 Tor 浏览器 11.5，这是一个主要版本，它带来了新的功能来帮助用户更轻松地对抗审查。

The Tor Browser has been created specifically for accessing sites through The Onion Router (Tor) network to offer users anonymity and privacy when accessing information on the internet.

Tor 浏览器专为洋葱路由器 (Tor) 网络访问网站而创建，为用户在访问 Internet 上的信息提供匿名与隐私。

It achieves this by routing traffic through nodes on the network and encrypting it at every step. The connection reaches the destination through an exit node that is used to relay the information back to the user.

它通过网络上的节点路由流量并在每一步对其进行加密来实现这一点。连接通过一个出口节点到达目的地，该出口节点用于将信息中继回用户。

Auto block bypassing

自定阻止绕过

The updates in Tor Browser 11.5 focus on circumventing censorship, a process that started a year ago in version 10.5 with improving the Tor connection experience.

Tor 浏览器 11.5 中的更新侧重于规避审查，这一过程始于一年前的10.5 版本，旨在改善 Tor 连接体验。

In the new version, users no longer have to manually try out bridge configurations to unblock Tor.

在新版本中，用户不再需要手动尝试桥接配置来解锁 Tor。

Tor Browser version 11.5 comes with a new feature called “Connection Assist”, which assigns automatically the bridge configuration known to work best for the user’s location.

Tor 浏览器 11.5 版带有一个名为“连接辅助”的新功能，它自动分配已知最适合用户位置的网桥配置。

“Connection Assist works by looking up and downloading an up-to-date list of country-specific options to try using your location (with your consent),” explains the release announcement.

“Connection Assist 的工作原理是查找和下载特定国家/地区选项的最新列表，以尝试使用您的位置（在您同意的情况下），”发布公告解释道。

“It manages to do so without needing to connect to the Tor Network first by utilizing moat – the same domain-fronting tool that Tor Browser uses to request a bridge from torproject.org.”

“它无需先连接到 Tor 网络就可以做到这一点，它利用了护城河——Tor 浏览器用来从 torproject.org 请求桥接的同一个域前端工具。”

Since Connection Assist is still in an early stage of development (v1.0), the Tor team welcomes user feedback and reports, which would help them iron out any kinks and improve on the system.

由于 Connection Assist 仍处于早期开发阶段（v1.0），Tor 团队欢迎用户反馈和报告，这将帮助他们解决任何问题并改进系统。

HTTPS on by default

默认开启HTTPS

Another important new feature in version 11.5 is making ‘HTTPS-Only Mode’ the default browsing mode, so that the connection is through a secure tunnel.

版本 11.5 中的另一个重要新功能是将“HTTPS模式”设为默认浏览模式，以便通过安全隧道进行连接。

This ensures that all data exchange between the user and the server hosting the website will be encrypted, to defend against man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks and to protect users from SSL stripping on malicious exit relays.

这确保了用户和托管网站的服务器之间的所有数据交换都将被加密，以防止中间人 (MitM) 攻击并保护用户免受恶意出口中继的 SSL 剥离。

The Tor team assures users that SecureDrop will continue to work as intended despite the deprecation and replacement of the HTTPS-Everywhere extension that served as an onion name interpreter.

Tor 团队向用户保证，尽管作为洋葱名称解释器的 HTTPS-Everywhere 扩展被弃用和替换，但 SecureDrop 将继续按预期工作。

The only exception to replacing HTTPS-Everywhere with the new HTTPS-Only Mode is Android, which has generally fallen behind.

将 HTTPS-Everywhere 替换为新的 HTTPS-Only 模式的唯一例外是 Android，它通常已经落后。

Tor’s development team admitted this and promised to do more about Android, releasing updates more frequently, fixing the many bugs that have accumulated, and catching up with the Fenix (Firefox for Android) releases.

Tor 的开发团队承认了这一点，并承诺在 Android 上做更多的事情，更频繁地发布更新，修复积累的许多错误，并赶上 Fenix（Android 版火狐）的发布。

Better settings

更好的设置

The third significant improvement in Tor Browser 11.5 is a heavily revamped Network Settings menu, now called “Connection Settings”, which should make it easier to find and understand specific settings.

Tor 浏览器 11.5 的第三个重大改进是对网络设置菜单进行了重大改进，现在称为“连接设置”，它应该更容易找到和理解特定设置。

Most notably, bridge configuration and connection options have been redesigned to enable quick and easy review and management.

最值得注意的是，桥接配置和连接选项已经过重新设计，以实现快速轻松的审查和管理。

Using emojis on the saved Bridges, the new interface offers visualization for the configuration for the first time, making it easy to identify the right bridge and select it when needed.

在保存的桥上使用表情符号，新界面首次提供了可视化的配置，便于识别正确的桥并在需要时选择它。
