A VPN is a Virtual Private Network that will enable users to access blocked sites (and apps) in this case. A VPN works by allowing an internet user to access any private network remotely by the help of, or by going through a private network.
Need for a VPN:
VPNs are used in case you don’t want your identity to be known. It hides your ID to some extent.
The most important reason for a VPN to be used is to access blocked sites including Facebook, Google etc.
It can also be used on an android device to access blocked apps. In times of chaos and crisis the most common practice among governments is to block access to social media apps. We believe it is not the government’s right to do so.
TOR:
Tor is in actuality a free open-source software for maintaining a user’s internet identity anonymous. It is in use and has been used in the past, by journalists, whistle blowers etc.
The way it works is that it bounces your communication around the world to a number of relays. These relays have been setup by volunteers all around the world. TOR not only hides what sites you are visiting from anyone watching your connection but it also hinders websites trying to know your location. And of course It will let you access blocked sites.
