Hi, Due to m limited bandwidth I've decided to turn my relay into a bridge. I seem to have everything right except if I restart tor I get a warning that "managed proxy obfsproxy is 'closed'". I'm sure this has come up in the past but I can find it in the archives. In torrc I have: SocksPort 0 ORPort 9001 Exitpolicy reject *:* Log notice file /var/log/tor/notices.log Contact info [] Nickname rasptorholland BridgeRelay 1 ServerTransportPlugin obfs3 exec /usr/bin/obfsproxy managed ServerTransportListenAddr obfs3 0.0.0.0:9030 DisableDebuggerAttachment 0
Hello,
how did you install obfsproxy? Which installation instructions did you follow? Seems like you didn't follow: https://www.torproject.org/projects/obfsproxy-instructions.html.en
What happens if you run '/usr/bin/obfsproxy managed' in a terminal?
Hello, Thanks for your advice! I had installed obfsproxy with apt-get on a Pi. I removed that and tried pip. It took me a while to find out that pip was actually python-pip. (Maybe the Tor website could be more specific about that.) That install went well. You asked me to see what happened after the command '/usr/bin/obfsproxy managed'. It took me a while to find that obfsproxy was installed in /usr/local/ , not in /usr/bin/ . And now, until further notice from tor, things seem to work fine. Thanks, J. Chase
