Then I saw the above email about being a bridge and thought, fine, I'll configure it to be a bridge and help out someone. Tried to do it via the docker/script method, but soon realised that was outside my skill level (hey stop laughing! :P)
Did you run into any specific issues? If you had troubles following the guide, I'm gonna blame the guide.
Setting ORPort to 443 as suggested. I forwarded that port on the router and then tested it, but it said it was closed. So I thought my router was playing up. I checked a few other ports using online tools and a few of them were closed. I forwarded a new another port to some other software on another machine and that worked?! So I realised the ports are open on the router but closed on the ubuntu machine. I've played around with all the settings, changed by torrc file to a really basic one of:
To run obfs4 on port 443, you will have to run the following command, to allow obfs4proxy to bind to port 443:
sudo setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep /usr/bin/obfs4proxy
If you did that already, it would be helpful to see your logs.
