Hi all, is anyone willing to talk me through getting Obfsproxy working on OSX10.4? I've got as far as Step 3 on https://www.torproject.org/projects/obfsproxy-instructions.html.en#instructi... but can't find the Obfsproxy binary; and since I have no idea what 'pip' does, even though it reports the 'package' as installed, I am at a loss.

Have you tried looking in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages , or the $PYTHONPATH used by your package manager / python install?
I wouldn't have known about (and still don't) $PYTHONPATH - I don't use Python for anything else, it's just a black box to me. I did find obfsproxy at /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/obfsproxy eventually (I was expecting something larger than 401 bytes) and have made a symlink from /usr/bin/ to ease access. Now that I can run it, will it be ok running as the same user as my (unpriviliged) Tor process?
Yes, they will run as the same user.
I assume the ServerTransportPlugin obfs3 exec /usr/local/bin/obfsproxy managed line in the torrc will result in obfsproxy running as a child process?
Yes, this is why they run as the same user.

I have Python crash events in /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Python.crash.log , but the original process is still running. I can connect to the obfsproxy port, but is there any other way to check it is still functioning? Will a SIGHUP to the Tor process restart it, or do I need to kill the old obfsproxy process first? Thanks again GD
