Hi, In the last 48 hours a major campaign of filtering has started in Iran - it started slow and now appears to be that nearly all SSL/TLS traffic is blocked on a few major Iranian ISPs. Details are rather rough but we're working on some solutions - we've long had an ace up our sleeves for this ex

Iran is not currently using IP filtering. You can run multiple bridges so long as they use different ports. Some countries do use filtering that would block bridges so a rotating IP could be beneficial. -Original Message- From: Hannah Sender: tor-talk-boun...@lists.torproject.org Date

Upon the last TBB update, Aurora 9 was replaced by FFox 10, the same FFox that I use for my clear browsing.

I also can get Tor and obfsproxy to compile and Tor runs normally as a bridge. But when I try the obfsproxy all I get is Feb 11 04:07:51.000 [warn] Could not setup the environment of the managed proxy at '/usr/local/bin/obfsproxy'. and Tor dies. I can't seem to convince it to log debug informatio

I can't get this to work at all on Rackspace. I've tried CentOS 6.0 and Ubuntu 11.10. For CentOS I had to compile everything but that worked and Tor worked as a bridge without the obfsproxy. For Ubuntu I followed the direction for installing from the repositories and Tor worked as a bridge but not
