You can help by running a Tor bridge. #RunTorBridges https://blog.torproject.org/run-tor-bridges-defend-open-internet
@torproject I’m interested but worried about getting sucked into legal action. Can I be implicated if I’m running a bridge and the tor user is doing some criminal stuff?
A bridge only takes an encrypted connection from an end user and passes it to a middle relay. None of their actual internet bound traffic exits the tor network from your bridge relay. This means that you should be save from any legal issues.
@torproject
@parusmajor @torproject - This was a cool project. I got a bridge set up. I see from the log that ORPort is reachable from the outside so hoping to see my bridge the relay search soon!
@torproject - how can I add to the bridge set up page? I'm on Qubes and used some info from https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/firewall/ that I'd like to refrence on the bridge setup page to help the next person.
Did you install any pluggable transports (like obfs4)?
@torproject
@parusmajor @torproject - Yes, installed obfs4. I also see that listed as the transport protocol for my bridge on the relay search.
