I'm not sure which AMI I should choose for > Obfsproxy Bridges. Correct. For a shared obfsproxy bridge in São Paulo use AMI ID ami-69d30974. For a private obfsproxy bridge in Singapore use AMI ID ami-601c5332. You can find this information on https://cloud.torproject.org/#get_started. > From what I can see, once I've chosen the correct AMI it should be very easy > to finish the configuration. It is, but please remember to open the right ports in the firewall before booting the instances. See https://cloud.torproject.org/#get_started for a list of ports. > Also, am I correct in thinking that I can host 2 instances in different > regions on the same account?

You should be able to change the location with a drop-down menu somewhere. -- Runa A.
