Hello,  
Your friend should try to configure the Tor settings in order to connect to a bridge.  
He may have to try several bridges before finding one which works.  
See eg [Client could not open](https://bisq.community/t/client-could-not-open/6164/2)

Things are also doable by using a VPN, but my understanding is that it is not stable.  
And also the authorities may take notice of your attempts.
