Hi Philipp! I am finishing up my Defcon slides, and I realized I don't know where to point people for setting up obfs4 bridges. Google sends me to https://support.torproject.org/operators/operators-6/ but I bet that's not up-to-date (but maybe it should become up-to-date). On the tor-relays list I see https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/PluggableTransports/obfs4p... which is (a) a really long url, and (b) an intimidatingly long page. And I hear irl is working a 'tor-bridge' meta-deb: https://bugs.torproject.org/31153 So: assuming I want to tell a bunch of people to do something in a week and a half, using a url they can hastily scribble down from my slide, what should I tell them? :) It is ok if the url doesn't say the right thing today but we're confident it will say the right thing on the morning of Aug 8. Thanks, --Roger

I have never seen this page before and no, I wouldn't recommend this guide. We will try to get this removed or redirected.

Yes, this is our canonical guide. Gus started porting the content over to this page: <https://community.torproject.org/relay-operations/setup/bridge/> The URL is slightly shorter and the content has sub pages but it has fallen out of date already. Given that our guide isn't changing much anymore, I'll talk to Gus to figure out a way for me to keep it updated so I don't have to rely on others.

This won't be done in time. As I understand it, we rely on non-Tor people to backport the package to stable, so it's not entirely in our control. Please correct me if I got this wrong, irl.
So: assuming I want to tell a bunch of people to do something in a week and a half, using a url they can hastily scribble down from my slide, what should I tell them? :)
I would suggest to go with the following URL: <https://community.torproject.org/relay-operations/setup/bridge/> By Aug 8 we can have it synced again with our canonical instructions. How does this sound to you? Cheers, Philipp

We shortened this URL to: <https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/bridge/> If you already had to submit your slides with the previous URL in it, we can revert this change, or add some sort of redirect. Cheers, Philipp

Great. I am finishing the slides today, so I will use this url. Woo, --Roger
