Yes. I am just trying to find a way to auto update it on Windows. Thanks.

Re: [tor-relays] Possible to run a tor bridge/relay via tor browser?

[teor]

Hi,

Just letting you know that I can't really help here, for a few reasons.

Here's some general feedback:

I don't think we can support using Tor Browser to auto-update a
relay. It seems really complicated.

As we've spoken about previously, you might be better using a
package manager, like Chocolatey:
https://chocolatey.org/search?q=Tor

(If you need help using Chocolatey, please find a
Chocolatey-specific help forum. I don't think anyone on this
list has experience.)

I can't see your full logs in the screenshots. Please paste them in
your email, or use a pastebin like https://paste.debian.net

I'm also struggling to keep up with your emails, because you keep
sending duplicate emails. That's a bit confusing.

The screenshot that has "torrc" and not "torrc.txt" is where I am using the

<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AQxvTfvZ3OlfcF6D2jNP_wUzcrcZ4prS/view?usp=drive_web>

Hey, so here is something I have noticed. I ran tor.exe via CMD (Windows
version of terminal). I wrote this to the torrc:



SOCKSPort 0# no local SOCKS proxy



ORPort 80# public bridge must have an open ORPort



ExtORPort auto # configure ExtORPort for obfs4proxy



ExitPolicy reject *:*  # no exits allowed



BridgeRelay 1  # relay won't show up in the public consensus



PublishServerDescriptor 1  # publish to the bridge authority





# use obfs4proxy to provide obfs4 on port 9003, 443



ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec
C:\Users\keife\Desktop\TotBrowser\Browser\TorBrowser\Tor\PluggableTransports\obfs4proxy.exe



ServerTransportListenAddr obfs4 127.0.0.1:8080



ContactInfo keifer@gmail.com



Then did tor.exe -f torrc.txt (including the file directories and all) and
it worked, tor launched and red the configuration file, but when using the
built in torrc file, this in turn caused tor browser to crash on start, see
the screenshot:



However, when I created my own torrc.txt file then started from there, it
worked, and tor browser also did not crash on start:



Though it did get stuck on loading  (probably due to the tor process
already being in use in all). This is problem attic is what I am trying to
do is have tor browser start, automatically installing updates (thus
automatically updating tor and obfs4 as a result) then start the bridge). I
guess I would want to have a torrc that could not be overwritten anyway,
but having tor browser and tor running via terminal seemed to cause issues.
Is there a way to configure tor browser to automatically install updates on
start? If so, I could write a script to start tor browser, close it after a
few minutes then start the relay when windows loads possibly.


Sending screenshots so you can see when tor browser crashes and does not
crash.



Thank you.

It's important that you follow these instructions precisely:
* give tor the path to the obfs4 executable file
* quote the path with double quote characters "like this"
* do not delete spaces, the path without spaces is a different path

If that doesn't work:
* double each backslash character like this: \\

If that doesn't work:
* run tor in a terminal, and send us your logs

We seem to be reaching the limits of your experience.

Perhaps there's some other way you can learn about file
paths on Windows and Linux? And processes? And
software updates?

I'm not sure we're the best people to learn system
administration from. Perhaps a beginners sysadmin
mailing list, chat, or course could help?

This is a directory path:

> relay\Browser\TorBrowser\Tor\PluggableTransports

You need to:
* give tor the path to the obfs4 executable file
* quote the path, because it contains spaces

You might need to quote the spaces in this path. And specify the path to
the binary, not the directory.

Try running tor in a terminal, so you can see the logs.

Re: [tor-relays] Possible to run a tor bridge/relay via tor browser?

[Keifer Bly]

Well, I just tried, and no luck, see the attached video. I edited the torrc
file included with the torrc file to run the bridge, and after doing this,
it causes tor to immediately crash on startup before even making any logs.



This is what is entered in the torrc file, the same as what is entered in
my tor expert bundle torrc



Nickname torland





SOCKSPort 0# no local SOCKS proxy



ORPort 80# public bridge must have an open ORPort



ExtORPort auto # configure ExtORPort for obfs4proxy



ExitPolicy reject *:*  # no exits allowed



BridgeRelay 1  # relay won't show up in the public consensus



PublishServerDescriptor 1  # publish to the bridge authority





# use obfs4proxy to provide obfs4 on port 9003, 443



ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec C:\Users\keife\Desktop\Tor Browser test
relay\Browser\TorBrowser\Tor\PluggableTransports



ServerTransportListenAddr obfs4 0.0.0.0:443



ContactInfo keifer@gmail.com





Any thoughts are appreciated, thank you. I am also wondering, can tor
browser be configured to automatically install updates on startup? Thanks.

Probably.

Why don't you try it, and let us know how you go?

[tor-relays] Possible to run a tor bridge/relay via tor browser?

[Keifer Bly]

Hi all. So I am currently running an OBFS4 bridge here: https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/386E99371B8CD938248940B754F16AAC54B5712B It is being done via the TOR expert bundle on Windows 10. I am wondering, would it be possible to run the bridge via the tor that comes with the tor browser? This way, everything (tor, obfs4, etc). could be automatically updated for the bridge just when updating tor browser. Thank you. --Keifer
