How are Tor bridges protected from being blocked by the Internet service providers?
How does it work? Censors block Tor in two ways: they can block connections to the IP addresses of known Tor relays, and they can analyze network traffic to find use of the Tor protocol. Bridges are secret Tor relays—they don't appear in any public list, so the censor doesn't know which addresses to block.
Do I still need a VPN if I use Tor?
A VPN isn't a requirement to use Tor, but it helps a lot. It encrypts your whole traffic, masking it from the ISP. In short, it's much safer to use Tor with a VPN. Not all VPNs offer Tor features in their product.

The Tor Exit Node Blocking service (Fireware v12. 8.1 and higher and Fireware v12. 5.10 and higher) uses a list of known Tor exit node IP addresses from Reputation Enabled Defense (RED), which it adds to the Blocked Sites List. This enables the Firebox to block traffic from these known IP addresses at the packet level.
