Hello, I'm following the bridge setup for windows after not being able to start a tor browser for some reason and having some difficulty with the last step. After running tor.exe -f torrc, there is no notice file appearing where it should be, and Tor still seems to fail to setup. In the torrc.txt file I modified the "ORPort TODO1" and "ServerTransportListenAddr obfs4 0.0.0.0:TODO2" by replacing TODO1 and TODO2 with numbers greater than 1024 and less than 9000. I assume either I messed up modifying the text file or that the obsf4 port I selected is not reachable. Using the provided reachability test I tried ~15 4 digit numbers, using 0.0.0.0 as the IP and a 4 digit number in the appropriate range for the obsf4 port (none reachable). Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hello,
I'm following the bridge setup for windows after not being able to start a tor browser for some reason and having some difficulty with the last step. After running tor.exe -f torrc, there is no notice file appearing where it should be, and Tor still seems to fail to setup.
In the torrc.txt file I modified the "`ORPort TODO1`" and "ServerTransportListenAddr obfs4 0.0.0.0:TODO2" by replacing TODO1 and TODO2 with numbers greater than 1024 and less than 9000.
I assume either I messed up modifying the text file or that the obsf4 port I selected is not reachable. Using the provided reachability test I tried ~15 4 digit numbers, using 0.0.0.0 as the IP and a 4 digit number in the appropriate range for the obsf4 port (none reachable).

What does your log file say?

The reachability test at <https://bridges.torproject.org/scan/>? You will have to enter your bridge's IP address. 0.0.0.0 won't work.
