Turkey has already blocked Tor. Use bridge - takes about less than 2 minutes.

That's just straight out crazy, they actually block commercial VPN providers also when they find them.
Luckily people already know of the technology, so making your own SOCKS proxy or VPN server from a cheap VPS should make it possible for people with medium IT skills to set up a secure network with TOR access.

cold turkey for tor in turkey
Interesting, but since Tor has bridged mode and advanced users can configure even commercially available VPNs to circumvent this, I guess Turkey really doesn't know what it's doing policy-wise.
Furthermore, Tor blocking has been around in the Middle East, parts of Africa, most of Asia, and parts of South America for a long time.
Props to OP for putting the news out there, and not surprising that Turkey would follow suit as China's Great Firewall :/
