Private Networks and Tunnels

Tor Bridge (obfs4)

High risk: it opens the two chosen ports in ufw when ufw is active. Installs tor and obfs4proxy from the distribution, writes /etc/tor/torrc as a bridge relay (no exit traffic), starts the service and reads the bridge line. Safe to run again: the bridge keys are kept.
