Error with the tor cli client

Can’t use bridge at [scrubbed]: there is no configured transport called “webtunnel”.
I used "tor -f “/home/USERNAME/.local/opt/tor-browser/app/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Tor/torrc” to launch the TOR client, but it threw this error. It was fine when I used the browser.
Can anyone help me? Am I missing anything?

@TorDavid, can you please share your torrc? (You can leave the parts that are commented out, i.e. with # at the beginning)

This is my torrc created bt Tor Browser:

WebTunnel bridge addresses
ClientOnionAuthDir /home/davidx/.local/opt/tor-browser/app/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Tor/onion-auth
DataDirectory /home/davidx/.local/opt/tor-browser/app/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Tor
GeoIPFile /home/davidx/.local/opt/tor-browser/app/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Tor/geoip
GeoIPv6File /home/davidx/.local/opt/tor-browser/app/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Tor/geoip6
UseBridges 1

You will have to add this line:

ClientTransportPlugin meek_lite,obfs4,scramblesuit,webtunnel exec <path to the lyrebird binary>

The lyrebird binary in Tor Browser is located in Browser/TorBrowser/Tor/PluggableTransports/

Installed a separate version with yay -S lyrebird-proxy.
Should work fine.
Thanks a lot for your help.

P.S. Is there any way to connect to Snowflake with this?

Yes. You will have to add this line followed with snowflake addresses:
ClientTransportPlugin snowflake exec <path to snowflake-client binary>

snowflake-client in Tor Browser is also located in Browser/TorBrowser/Tor/PluggableTransports/

Thanks a lot. BTW, how can I find some ducumentation for the config file? I searched many sources but almost all of them are saying about the browser. Are there any official docs?

If you have installed tor from the repositories (i.e. deb.torproject.org / rpm.torproject.org), have a look at the manpage. In the terminal, run:

$ man tor

Oh. Quite a lot of information there.
Anyway, thanks a lot.
