<div>Dear friends,
<br />
<br />
I am uncuccessfully running a bridge that uses obfs4 as pluggable transport. (At least it should.)
<br />
Today I actually tried to connect to it and it is possible to connect to the bridge using the ORport.
<br />
But when I tried to start tor browser with this setting to use obfs4:
<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:100%;">obfs4 12.345.67.89:1111 (only with the right numbers)
<br />
</p>
it got stuck at "establishing an encrypted network connection".
<br />
I checked on canyouseeme.org and both the vanilla ORport and the obfs4 port seem to be accessible from outside.
<br />
<br />
My router is set to allow TCP and UDP on the port for obfs4.
<br />
<br />
What could be causing the problem?
<br />
<br />
Cheers,
<br />
Lo
<br />

<div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Helvetica;font-size:12px;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;">It would be
tough to give an exact answer to that is it depends on how many people are connecting through your specific bridge.
However in general the bandwidth requirements would be much less, as bridges are used for mostly areas where the tor
network is blocked whereas one of the exit relays is used by every client that uses tor at all.</div>

<div>This page contains information about how much traffic different types of relays generally send and receive over
time, etc.</div>

<div>PS, my apologies if this comes through twice for some reason. My email client is acting a bit strange at the

<div>Hi. I would like to run a public OBFS4 Tor Bridge. Digitalocean’s price changes made running an exit too
expensive. In comparison how much bandwidth would a Tor bridge use per month?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
