−	~~#REDIRECT~~ [~~[在中国运行Bisq~~ (~~Running~~ Bisq in China)]]	+	The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Firewall Great Firewall of China] (GFW) makes it difficult to run Bisq from within mainland China.
		+
		+	This article outlines a workaround.
		+
		+	== Requirements ==
		+
		+	You will need a working solution to access the internet already available to you, for example a VPN or a local proxy, and know its IP and port number; Bisq will be made to use that proxy to reach the Tor entry nodes.
		+
		+	== Steps ==
		+
		+	You will edit the <code>torrc</code> default settings that Bisq uses to connect to Tor, and to this extent you will modify a file inside the main <code>jar</code> file of the application, <code>desktop-''version-number''-all.jar</code>
		+	Depending on your operating system, this is where it should be locatedː
		+	* Windowsː <code>Cː\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Local\Bisq\app\</code>
		+	* Linuxː <code>/opt/bisq/lib/app/</code>
		+	* MacOSː <code>$Home/Applications/Bisq.app/Contents/app/</code>
		+
		+	A <code>jar</code> file is actually a zipped archive, that you can open with 7zip (a mac user reported WinZip working as well); inside the root of this archive, there is a file named <code>torrc</code> that you have to open in a text editor; its contents will be likeː
		+
		+	ControlPort auto
		+	CookieAuthentication 1
		+	DisableNetwork 1
		+	AvoidDiskWrites 1
		+	RunAsDaemon 1
		+	SOCKSPort auto
		+
		+	Addː
		+	Socks5Proxy YourProxyIP:port
		+	on a new line, then save the file and make sure your archiving application updates the archive, then start Bisq.
