[gus]

Hi,

Please ignore that README for now.

We're migrating the WebTunnel documentation to the Community portal, you
can find it here:
https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/webtunnel/

If you find issues or incomplete instructions, please report it here:
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/community/-/issues/
