Hello, Can you run a bride and a middle-relay together on a host? I mean for the safety of users. IPv6 is usually a /64 network and the various IPv4 are usually also from a subnet. -- Ciao Marco!
Hey there. No, im only bridge-relay running, but I need to be obfuscate the bridge,. but i unable to install obfs4proxy Regards On Thu, Mar 21, 2019 at 8:43 PM <lists@for-privacy.net> wrote:

Answer #1: if they're using different IP addresses, sure, go for it. Answer #2: if they're using the same IP address, you can do it technically, but it's probably not a good move. Some years ago, it used to be that China blocked Tor relays and bridges by blocking the particular IP:port they listened on. But in the past year or two, they switched to just blackholing the IP address if there's a Tor thing on it. So, that means when they learn the relay IP address and blackhole it, if your bridge is on that same IP address, the bridge becomes unreachable too. Not the best outcome. And, while you're thinking about bridge blocking, here are many other angles to learn about: https://blog.torproject.org/research-problems-ten-ways-discover-tor-bridges Hope that helps, --Roger

Which means, to avoid few attack vector, a Tor relay operator might run a bridge which points to its own relay always? -- Toralf PGP C4EACDDE 0076E94E

Different IP are a must, that's clear anyway. But... Normally you get from the provider: some IPv4 fron same subnet: 203.0.113.111 203.0.113.222 203.0.113.333 and one IPv6 Prefix: 2001:0DB8:123:456::/64 After reading that from your link below, I realize it's a bad idea to use similar IP's for Bridge and Gateway. I came up with the idea, because my server still has a lot of resources available. But I do not have traffic anymore. 2 Tor instaces consume all my 20TB.
