| What is Obfs4? |
| Bridges are Tor relays that help you circumvent censorship. Obfs4 is one such bridge. It makes your Tor traffic look like random data. Obfs4 bridges are difficult to detect. Want to use one? Great! First let's install tor and obfs4proxy: |
sudo apt install tor obfs4proxy |
| Add the following lines at the end of /etc/tor/torrc: |
ClientTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy
UseBridges 1
##Download bridges: https://bridges.torproject.org/options
##Add the bridge lines you just got directly below! Great!
##Add the word 'Bridge' Before each line you paste in.
##You can remove these '##' comments now. |
| It should look to this now. |
ClientTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy
