If your bridge is behind a firewall or NAT, make sure to open both ports. Note that both Tor's OR port and its obfs4 port must be reachable. Use a fixed obfs4 port larger than 1024, still avoiding 9001. This is optional.ĭon't forget to change the ORPort, ServerTransportListenAddr, ContactInfo,, and Nickname options. # Pick a nickname that you like for your bridge. # Replace "" with your email address so we can contact you if there are problems with your bridge. Don't try to set a specific port number, nor listen on 0.0.0.0. # "Ext" means "extended", not "external". # Local communication port between Tor and obfs4. ServerTransportListenAddr obfs4 0.0.0.0:TODO2 # This port must be externally reachable and must be different from the one specified for ORPort. # Replace "TODO2" with an obfs4 port of your choice. ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\tor\obfs4proxy.exe # Avoid port 9001 because it's commonly associated with Tor and censors may be scanning the Internet for this port.
