After months of planning and development Tor Browser with built in WebTunnel pluggable transport based on HTTPT.
## How to use it?
First, download specialized build of Tor Browser from [here](https://people.torproject.org/~shelikhoo/w000hxg0k71q/). Or alternatively build it from [source](https://gitlab.torproject.org/shelikhoo/tor-browser-build/-/tree/dev-webtunnelw).
You can enable WebTunnel with a custom bridge line. Here is one of it:
`Bridge webtunnel 192.0.2.3:1 url=https://n97jlbvjwy3iotetc0axrtu3mm7gq1gajqv7-80-78-24-44.sslip.io/939e42a2-8f3f-4645-9d7b-8b9be28b157e`
Like all non-stable version build of the tor browser, it is recommended to use it with caution, as it is not fully tested for the best security and stability.
## What is webtunnel’s advantage?
The communication with a webtunnel bridge is in HTTPS protocol, thus difficult to identify. Furthermore, the same network address can host a website in coexistence of the webtunnel bridge, making active probing less effective.

Does not work:

It seems that the webtunnel process was crashed on server side. I have fixed it by restarting it. I will try to find out the root cause for the crash of the process.

I confirm that it works now. Thanks.

tested WEbTunnel with two bridges from [bridges.torproject.org](http://bridges.torproject.org) in tor alpha **win64-13.0a1**
Didn’t notice any problem for connection during ~2 hours of web browsing. I think it’s 50% faster than obfs4 bridges . (my connection is very slow in general, about 730KB down and 60KB up, it’s hard for me to tell how much faster this type of bridges really are)
Country: **Iran**
ISP: **Asiatech**
