This script is a fork of https://github.com/micahflee/tor-relay-bootstrap. If you need a relay, go there. If you need a bridge, you've come to the right place.
This is a script to bootstrap a Debian server to be a set-and-forget Tor bridge. I've only tested it in Wheezy, but it should work on any modern Debian or Ubuntu version. Pull requests are welcome.
tor-relay-bootstrap does this:
- Upgrades all the software on the system
- Adds the deb.torproject.org repository to apt, so Tor updates will come directly from the Tor Project
- Installs and configures Tor to be a bridge that runs obfs3 (but still requires you to manually edit torrc to set Nickname, ContactInfo, etc. for this bridge)
- Configures sane default firewall rules
- Configures automatic updates
- Installs tlsdate to ensure time is synced
- Helps harden the ssh server
- Gives instructions on what the sysadmin needs to manually do at the end
To use it, set up a Debian server, SSH into it, switch to the root user, and:
git clone https://github.com/NSAKEY/tor-bridge-bootstrap.git
cd tor-bridge-bootstrap
./bootstrap.sh
