I believe that error means obfsproxy was either not installed correctly or your torrc is not pointing to the correct location. Follow the below link's instructions. Also, a quick google search for that error provided resukts from this mailing list. Follow its instructions as well. https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2014-February/003892.html On Oct 8, 2014 6:00 AM, <tor-relays-request@lists.torproject.org> wrote:

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

Both ports are forwarded, though I can't find proof that tor is actually using port 9030.

Any suggestions? -J. Chase

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?
