+# 1. Install tor and dependencies
+
+* Redhat / RHEL:
+
+```
+yum install epel-release
+yum install git golang tor
+```
+
+* OpenSUSE:
+
+```
+zypper install tor go git
+```
+
+# 2. Build obfs4proxy and move it into place.
+
+Heavily outdated versions of git can make `go get` fail, so try upgrading to a more recent git version if you're running into this problem.
+
+* CentOS / RHEL:
+
+```
+export GOPATH=`mktemp -d`
+go get gitlab.com/yawning/obfs4.git/obfs4proxy
+sudo cp $GOPATH/bin/obfs4proxy /usr/local/bin/
+chcon --reference=/usr/bin/tor /usr/local/bin/obfs4proxy
+```
+
+* OpenSUSE:
+
+```
+export GOPATH=`mktemp -d`
+go get gitlab.com/yawning/obfs4.git/obfs4proxy
+sudo cp $GOPATH/bin/obfs4proxy /usr/local/bin/
+```
+
+# 3. Edit your Tor config file, usually located at `/etc/tor/torrc` and add the following lines:
+
+```
+#Bridge config
+RunAsDaemon 1
+ORPort auto
+BridgeRelay 1
+ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/local/bin/obfs4proxy
+# For a fixed obfs4 port (e.g. 34176), uncomment the following line.
+#ServerTransportListenAddr obfs4 0.0.0.0:34176
+# Local communication port between Tor and obfs4. Always set this to "auto". "Ext" means
+# "extended", not "external". Don't try to set a specific port number, nor listen on 0.0.0.0.
+ExtORPort auto
+
+# Contact information that allows us to get in touch with you in case of
+# critical updates or problems with your bridge. This is optional, so you
+# don't have to provide an email address if you don't want to.
+ContactInfo <address at email.com>
+# Pick a nickname that you like for your bridge.
+Nickname PickANickname
+```
+
+Don't forget to change the ContactInfo and Nickname options.
+
+* Note that both Tor's OR port **and** its obfs4 port must be reachable. If your bridge is behind a firewall or NAT, make sure to open both ports.
+
+# 4. Restart tor
+
+`systemctl restart tor`
+
+# 5. Monitor your logs (usually in your syslog)
+
+To confirm your bridge is running with no issues, you should see something like this:
+
+```
+[notice] Your Tor server's identity key fingerprint is '<NICKNAME> <FINGERPRINT>'
+[notice] Your Tor bridge's hashed identity key fingerprint is '<NICKNAME> <HASHED FINGERPRINT>'
+[notice] Registered server transport 'obfs4' at '[::]:46396'
+[notice] Tor has successfully opened a circuit. Looks like client functionality is working.
+[notice] Bootstrapped 100%: Done
+[notice] Now checking whether ORPort <redacted>:9001 is reachable... (this may take up to 20 minutes -- look for log messages indicating success)
+[notice] Self-testing indicates your ORPort is reachable from the outside. Excellent. Publishing server descriptor.
+```
+
+Remember to open the random port associated with your bridge. You can find it in your tor log; in the above example it is 46396. To use a fixed port, uncomment the [ServerTransportListenAddr](https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en#ServerTransportListenAddr) option in your torrc. You can use [our reachability test](https://bridges.torproject.org/scan/) to see if your obfs4 port is reachable from the Internet.

+ Bridge deployment

+body:
+
+This guide will help you run an obfs4 bridge to help censored users connect to the Tor network. The requirements are 1) 24/7 Internet connectivity and 2) the ability to expose TCP ports to the Internet (make sure that NAT doesn't get in the way).

+body:
+
+# 1. Install Tor
+
+Get the latest version of Tor. If you're on Debian stable, `sudo apt-get install tor` should give you the latest stable version of Tor.
+
+* Note:''' Ubuntu users need to get it from Tor repository. Please see [Download instructions for Ubuntu](https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en#ubuntu).
+
+# 2. Install obfs4proxy
+
+On [Debian](https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=obfs4proxy), the `obfs4proxy` package is available in sid, buster, and stretch. On [https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=obfs4proxy Ubuntu], bionic, cosmic, disco, and eoan have the package. If you're running any of them, `sudo apt-get install obfs4proxy` should work.
+
+If not, you can [build it from source](https://gitlab.com/yawning/obfs4#installation).
+
+# 3. Edit your Tor config file, usually located at `/etc/tor/torrc` and add the following lines:
+
+```
+#Bridge config
+RunAsDaemon 1
+ORPort auto
+BridgeRelay 1
+ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy
+# For a fixed obfs4 port (e.g. 34176), uncomment the following line.
+#ServerTransportListenAddr obfs4 0.0.0.0:34176
+# Local communication port between Tor and obfs4. Always set this to "auto". "Ext" means

+# Contact information that allows us to get in touch with you in case of
+# critical updates or problems with your bridge. This is optional, so you
+# don't have to provide an email address if you don't want to.
+ContactInfo <address at email.com>
+# Pick a nickname that you like for your bridge.
+Nickname PickANickname
+```
+
+Don't forget to change the ContactInfo and Nickname options.
+
+* If you decide to use a fixed obfs4 port smaller than 1024 (for example 80 or 443), you will need to give obfs4 `CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE` capabilities to bind the port with a non-root user:
+
+```
+sudo setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep /usr/bin/obfs4proxy
+```
+
+* Under Debian, you will also need to set `NoNewPrivileges=no` in `/lib/systemd/system/tor at default.service` and `/lib/systemd/system/tor at .service` and then run `systemctl daemon-reload`. [bug #18356](https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/18356)
+
+* Note that both Tor's OR port **and** its obfs4 port must be reachable. If your bridge is behind a firewall or NAT, make sure to open both ports.
+
+# 4. Restart tor
+
+`systemctl restart tor`
+
+# 5. Monitor your logs
+
+To confirm your bridge is running with no issues, you should see something like this (usually in `/var/log/tor/log` or `/var/log/syslog`):

+
+Congrats! If you get to this point, it means that your obfs4 bridge is running and is being distributed by BridgeDB to censored users. If you want to connect to your bridge manually, you will need to know the bridge's obfs4 certificate. See the file `/var/lib/tor/pt_state/obfs4_bridgeline.txt` and paste the entire bridge line into Tor Browser:
+
+```
+Bridge obfs4 <IP ADDRESS>:<PORT> <FINGERPRINT> cert=<CERTIFICATE> iat-mode=0
+```
+
+You'll need to replace `<IP ADDRESS>`, `<PORT>`, and `<FINGERPRINT>` with the actual values, which you can find in the tor log. Make sure to use `<FINGERPRINT>`, not `<HASHED FINGERPRINT>`; and that `<PORT>` is the one from the log line `Registered server transport 'obfs4'`, not the one from the line `Now checking whether ORPort ... is reachable`.
+
+Finally, you can monitor your obfs4 bridge's usage on [Relay Search](https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#search). Just enter your bridge's `<HASHED FINGERPRINT>` in the form and click "Search". After having set up the bridge, it takes approximately three hours for the bridge to show up in Relay Search.
