Hi all!
I use core Tor as a service on my desktop (Linux) and also I use it on my OpenWRT router which serves the home network. Both Tor instances have almost the same config (using obfs4proxy with the same bridges). Also, I have to pass Tor traffic via an additional proxy (which is a network obfuscator named ‘byedpi’) to avoid blocking. The obfuscator instances are installed in both places (desktop and router) and have the same config.
And the result is: Tor on my desktop is working well, Tor on my router cannot connect.
Okay, I login to he router, stop the service and try to start Tor manually. That’s I see:
root@Router:~# /usr/sbin/tor -f /tmp/torrc

and silence then… It doesn’t matter if to pass Tor traffic via the proxy or not.
Could anyone give an advice?
