    the systemd bypass advice applies only if setcap
    
    In its current location, the paragraph implies that you need
    to turn off NoNewPrivileges in order to run obfsproxy on any port,
    and I think you only need to run it if you're using a low port.

+  To work around systemd hardening, 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`.

 * 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.
   You can use [our reachability test](https://bridges.torproject.org/scan/) to see if your obfs4 port is reachable from the Internet.
