Hi YLAP,
Pluggable Transports help you bypass censorship against Tor:
https://www.torproject.org/docs/pluggable-transports.html.en
but I would be very cautious to use it there, where authorities block and monitor, as new vulnerabilities are found again and again.
Example:
https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2016-November/042639.html
For foreigners:
https://privacytoolsio.github.io/privacytools.io/#network
And there is always an alternative, that might be legit and does not use any servers the government blocks,
the BRIAR project for instance:
https://briarproject.org/index.html
