[tor-relays] bridge not accessible through obfs4 port

[caioau tor]

I had the same problem, you can connect to your bridge by two means:

1. through orport, the bridge line should be:

<ip>:<Orport> 

without obfs4 in the beginning.

2. through obfs4: you need to find out your bridge line, it's under
/var/lib/tor/pt_state/obfs4_bridgeline.txt
the line is like this

obfs4 <IP ADDRESS>:<PORT> <FINGERPRINT> cert= iat-mode=0 

now the port is the obfs4 port

hope this helps

However in general the bandwidth requirements would be much less, as bridges are used for mostly areas where the tor network is blocked whereas one of the exit relays is used by every client that uses tor at all.
