Not really. If the exit Tor node is within the US you won't be able to reach the blocked domain.

On the other hand, a free DNS from overseas should work.

You can configure Tor to exit from a specific set of countries, or to exclude a specific set of countries from the exit list.
You are right. Maybe Tor should be configured by default to work that way.

Do you have a .torrc that makes Tor to exit from non-censorship countries? I would like to use it.

Alternatively, do you have a list of non-censorship countries?

NB: If you run a Tor hidden service remove it from your torrc before posting it.

I don't have such a list no. However, the configuration option is quite simple. If you wanted to block China, Russia and the US, you'd simply add this to your torrc:

ExcludeNodes {cn},{ru},{us}

Thanks.
