Is Tor legal or illegal?

Does Tor use SOCKS5?

Do you need a bridge for Tor?

Tor bridges are secret Tor relays that keep your connection to the Tor network hidden. Use a bridge as your first Tor relay if connecting to Tor is blocked or if using Tor could look suspicious to someone who monitors your Internet connection.
