Bridges

Bridges can refer to various things, but most commonly it refers to physical structures that are built spanning a river, valley, or other obstacle, to provide a safe and efficient passage. Bridges are essential infrastructure for transportation and commerce, allowing people and goods to cross otherwise difficult or impossible terrain. However, "Bridges" could also refer to a software program that helps internet users in countries with restricted internet access to access blocked websites and services. It does this by routing the user's internet connection through volunteers' computers in various countries, making it harder for censors to detect and block access to specific websites. Bridges is part of the Tor anonymity network and is used by many journalists, activists, and human rights defenders around the world to access information and communicate safely.
