[tor-relays] Help Turkmens to bypass Internet censorship: run an obfs4 bridge!

Dear Relay operators community, The parliamentary elections in Turkmenistan are coming up very soon on March 26th[1], and the Turkmen government has tightened internet censorship and restrictions even more. In the last few months, the Anti-censorship community has learned that different pluggable transports, like Snowflake, and entire IP ranges, have been blocked in the country.

If anyone is setting up a new obfs4 bridge specifically for Turkmenistan, note that a study in December 2021 showed that only 1,153 TCP ports were reachable.

To retrieve the list of reachable ports, go to Turkmenistan AGTS reachability test 18 Dec 2021 - Turkmenistan - NTC and look for ValdikSS’s post. Download turkmenistan_agts_18_Dec_2021.7z, unzip with 7-Zip, and peruse reachabletcpports.txt.

hi, should I create the obfs4 bridge myself? if so, can you teach me from scratch?

[Kakajan1993]

[Kakajan1993]

hi bro, is it possible to convert vanilla bridge to obfs4 bridge with ip port?

The main challenge here is not in setting up the bridge, but rather in finding an ISP that their IP ranges aren’t blocked in Turkmenistan. Bridges running on residential connections (outside Turkmenistan) and some specific ports such as 443,80,8080 seems to work well.

If you’re using tor-relay-scanner, those are actually Tor public relays that can be used as bridges and aren’t blocked in your country. However, it’s not possible to “convert” to obfs4 bridges.
The relay operator would need to shut down their public relay and install an obfs4 bridge.
