If you are not using nftables, then make the equivalent changes for your firewall. Whichever one you are using, you will need to open ports 80 and 443 for TCP input and persist your changes across reboots.įor example, if you are using nftables with a policy of drop on Debian 10, the commands would be: nft add rule inet filter input tcp dport counter accept nft list ruleset > /etc/nf Open Firewallįirewalls may be implemented with nftables, iptables, ufw, firewalld, or Cloud security groups.

If your PC runs Windows or macOS, you will need to experiment on your own. If your server or client runs a recent version of Debian, the procedures will be very similar to those for Ubuntu 21.04. We end the tutorial by describing the procedure for setting up a Ubuntu 21.04 client. In the examples in this article, we give the server host name as and the server IP address as zz.zz.zz.zz.

You will need to create a DNS A record pointing from your server hostname to your server’s IP address.

You will need a domain name, either free or paid.

The process will be similar for an Ubuntu server. We give instructions for a Debian 10 server, with a camouflage website running on Nginx. It hides the fact that you are using Tor and protects you from malicious guard nodes. This is an alternative to building an obfs4 private bridge. In this arrangement we use Cloak to build a disguised private Tor bridge.

Tor bridge decline server numbers will
