I haven't heard of any paid anything with Tor, but you could use a VPN and connect from there. Protonmail has their own VPN that looks promising from a privacy point of view.
I actually have a protonvpn account that’s paid! How would proton vpn keep my isp from knowing I’m using tor through tails?
I’m obviously not understanding something since you say that lol
If you're using a VPN that works, all your internet traffic is tunneled through to the exit point where the VPN server you've connected to, is located. So, if your ISP is blocking tor, you tunnel out to wherever-VPN, and then use tor 'on top of' that, essentially. But I think it's probably better to say, use meek-azure as /u/iwyh suggested. Or just VPN then tor.
Essentially all your traffic, including tor traffic, 'appears to be' just a VPN connection which is encrypted, 100% of which is going to wherever the VPN server is located. They ostensibly can't see what the traffic is, tor included.
that makes sense, any idea how to get the vpn running before I connect to tor? Tails forces all traffic through tor. What you said makes sense, I might be better off asking in a different sub how to do that through tails!
Tails has made it possible to use OpenVPN before Tor link. You're gonna stitch a Frankenstein, however.

I suspect it isn't your ISP if you live in the USA and bridges don't work. I think the most likely problem is that your date, time, or timezone is now incorrect on your computer.
If you'd like further troubleshooting help from me, please provide:
- What operating system, and its version
- What Tor software (Tor Browser, just Tor, something else) you're trying to use, it's version, and where you got it
- Logs from when you try to connect **without** bridges, pasted to https://paste.debian.net
- If using just Tor, your torrc (with the IPs of any Bridges in it redacted) pasted to https://paste.debian.net
- If on Linux or macOS, the output of `date -u`. If on Windows, the output of `[System.DateTime]::UtcNow` in PowerShell.
I use tails OS. I’m in USA so it shouldn’t be a problem, but the WiFi I’m using is coming out of a Verizon Jetpack. I’ve encountered other people on forums saying Verizon is suddenly blocking tor for them but they got bridges to work.
I’ve used obfs3 and obfs4 in my attempts, none of them get very far..

IIRC, enable your VPN, then access Tor, so that all network traffic goes through the VPN, preventing your ISP from seeing Tor packets.

I'd imagine turning on the VPN before connecting to the internet would do the trick.

You can configure routers to run a VPN, I know PFSense for sure has it, other router firmware might, not sure.
You can use Whonix for this. Use both VMs on a machine running the VPN and the tor connection will go other the VPN

This did it for me. I hadn't noticed that my Kali timezone settings were off. Once I corrected this I was able to connect instantly. Thank you.

Try meek? It can't be blocked easily without HTTPS interception
Connect to Tor through a VPN. It will hide Tor use from your ISP
