Since you are hosting inside, it is not easy for you and you risk to be blocked very often because they observe the network to block Tor.įor these reasons it is not recommended to host there, although it is still feasible. Maintaining a bridge or relay in a censored country (like Russia) is very difficult and you always have to change the IPv4 address if it is a bridge, which makes the task too long and complex to do over time. Last thing you need to check since your server is a bridge, I recommend that you read the answer someone has sent today on the forum which helps to know if your bridge is blocked in Russia : Periodically disposing of current public IP on bridge node, a good thing? - #6 by irl ServerTransportListenAddr obfs4 0.0.0.0:443 You can add this setting into the torrc file to put a specific obfs4 port to your bridge (port 443 is recommended to bypass restrictive firewalls) : → If you want to set your server as a bridge : Have you allowed the obfs4 port in your firewall / router ? You can read the differences between a middle relay and a bridge here : Tor Project | Types of relays on the Tor network With those settings, you enable the obfs4 options, it means that your relay becomes a bridge. Now I tried to use but anyway I fail to connect. Is this config correct? Before the problem, I didn’t use bridges and BridgeRelay option. I will be glad to your advice and support.

ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/local/bin/obfs4proxy I have *nix system with the newest Tor 0.4.7.7 and here is my current torrc: SocksPort 9050 # what port to open for local application connectionsĬlientTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/local/bin/obfs4proxy What cam you advise to overcome the censorship for the relay? Secondly, if you answer positively, here is my next question. Now it cannot connect to the Tor network.įirstly, I’d like to ask you: does it make sence to maintain the relay in such hard conditions? Is it still useful for the community and users? My relay was working pretty well until last days. And, of course, I experience all the difficulties of our censorship now.
