[tor-relays] Instructions for setting up an Obfs4 bridge on windows

Hi,
I’m attempting to follow the instructions for setting up a obfs4 bridge on Windows. In my instance, it is Windows 10.

The instructions say to copy out the obfs4proxy.exe from:
C:\Users<user>\Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Tor\PluggableTransports

However, there is no obfs4 file in this location or anywhere else within the tor browser bundle. In this location, there are only a snowflake exe and a lyrebird exe.

I also checked the tor expert bundle and there is no obfs4 exe there.

Any suggestions as to where I may find the obfs4 exe for Windows?

Hi,

For reasons not totally clear to me (something related to meek and
uTLS I think?) TorProject forked obfs4. To disambiguate with Yawning's
obfs4, the project was renamed to lyrebird.
It should work the same as obfs4.exe for your use case.
Would you mind creating a ticket in
The Tor Project / Web / community · GitLab, or possibly a Merge
Request, to update the documentation?
