I'm not sure how to get this to where Iranians will find it, so I'll just post my bridge here: 67.165.94.243:443 AF293E70D1DB3AF126B3BD6F5DD2B4D904705BB0

Here are some other ways for blocked end-users to get bridge addresses:

https://www.torproject.org/bridges

Since publishing by bridge IP and fpr will most likely get it added to a irani blacklist, I choose to send it directly instead of publishing. This kinda defeats the purpose imo.

That's a good point about NOT posting it here… the docs kind of made it sound like you needed to cut & paste your IP and fingerprint somewhere (email,website,etc) to get it to the end user before I read about how to get bridges at https://www.torproject.org/bridges

Even that won't work so well if torproject.org and gmail is blacklisted. :}

Good point. Is it legal to mirror copies of Tor so people can still
get it even if some sites are blocked?

They can't stop us all!

Thanks! I submitted that link to StumbleUpon so hopefully more people
will see it.

Don't post IP addresses, they get caught and they get blocked

This is a great idea! You should include a link on how to set up a Tor bridge though.

Done!

Is this site safe to post the bride info? If not, we just blew it.

So far I haven't been aware of or been notified of any bad use of this
page. Hopefully we can keep it that way.

I haven't received any traffic to this site from inside Iran for a while according to Google Analytics. I don't know if this means this site was blocked or if all the traffic has simply been through proxies which means this might be working. I own multiple domains and I'm going to start mirroring information on them too if this domain gets blacklisted. Remember to take this message to the sneakernet. Pass things through a closely known grapevine to keep the people on the ground safe. If you have friends and family in Iran and still have a way of communicating with them see if they want or need help getting information.

It means 2 things:
1: the government knows that your site exists and has blocked it:
2: Any new Tor bridges posted here will become useless the moment they are seen.
Go to http://iran.whyweprotest.net/ to find out how to send your Tor bridge discreetly to the bloggers who need them.

Please email all new Tor bridges to irancurtain at iansbrain dot com.
I will forward them to people who can use them.

Thanks for all your support everyone. The list is at about 35 bridges right now.

Traffic from Iran has returned.

Do you actually need TOR bridge? You need it only if TOR is blocked. Once you get in, you have to share resources like everybody else. Exit nodes are what needed now, and you cannot be an exit node if you are a bridge for security reasons.

A mix of both are needed. Some places have Tor blocked and the bridge helps with that.

They need both.

Does anyone out there in the interwebs have any new ideas on how to help out? Tor is important but maybe we can all come up with something revolutionary.

Keep em coming. irancurtain@iansbrain.com

I think we're doing about all we can really. The awareness being raised via the internet and the pressure being applied because of it is huge, and Tor will become an increasingly important aspect of that I think.

Add relay nodes, not just bridges. We need to speed the network up.

Still getting traffic from Iran! Huzzah!
<img src="http://iansouter.com/iansbrain_statisfy.png"/img>

Try to save Tor's limited capacity for people who need it the most. Someone's safety may depend on it.

If you run an exit node, it may take hours before it starts to be heavily used. Keep it running as long as you can.

How can you see where you're getting the traffic from? Better yet: can you control it so only Iranians get in?

I say don't post it here because this is public and ANYONE can use your bridges when it's posted.

Not getting any traffic. Logs state my DirPort is not reachable but I mapped that port. HELP!!!

Disabled DIR Port as it is not needed. Am running a bridge. Need to get my Bridged IP out. Sent to Ian, just want to make sure he received it.

Got it.

Traffic logs show hits from Iran to this blog post have dropped off dramatically today so I am assuming this finally got blocked. I remade an instruction site somewhere else and it has already gotten 12 hits today from within Iran. Let's keep the word spreading!

"Your ser ver (…) has not managed to confirm that its DirPort is reachable…..Please check your firewalls…" in the logs, using it as a bridge. In the documentation it states that the DirPort MUST be enabled when usign a bridge.
Should i bother or not as i dont know how to influence my router (if i have one)

How do I know if someone is using my proxy? I have only 9.22 MB Recvd and 4.9 MB Sent since this AM. Is that normal?

If it's not used, it doesn't matter if it's disabled or not, right?

Jun 25 01:58:24.731 [Notice] Your DNS provider gave an answer for "6bmkdc4ftre6ro", which is not supposed to exist. Apparently they are hijacking DNS failures. Trying to correct for this. We've noticed 2 possibly bad addresses so far.

This I always get. I seemed to fix the geoIP error and on vista the directory structure is different.

I have tor up and running. Ports are fine – but log said "using exit … relaying to new circuit" 7 times and then finally – Tried for 125 secund to get a connection for … 80. gave up" What does that mean?

That is probably related to your connection being too slow and it's causing it to time out. There's not much you can do about that other than try again in a little bit. Stay safe.

I have another question. The traffic on my tor relay is asynchrone – more sent than recieved. The ratio is like 2 to 1. Pls explain

Are you currently using Tor to post stuff online or are you just using
it to share your connection? If you're posting stuff it will show the
traffic that you are sending out over the Tor network.

Im just sharing my connection.

Might be compressed info coming in then uncompressed exiting your
relay. Not sure.

kk and thx

Bacheha don´t give up. Khoda jaro hamrahetun bashe. Peace

Do you realy think that average poeple in IRAN CAN UNDERSTAND ALL OF THIS, AND WORK WITH IT? CAN YOU AT LEAST BE MORE CLEAR AND WITH SIMPLE LANGUAGE THAT EVERY BODY CAN UNDERSTAND, IT SOUND TOO COMPLICATE TO DO, I WANT TO HELP iRANIAN IN IRAN BUT I CAN'T UNNDERSTAND YOU, I'M SORRY

This isn't for people in Iran. These instructions are for people
outside to help get people access to filtered websites.

Still getting hits from Iran and there's activity from there on the Tor network map.

Guys: I have downloaded Tor and have my "disable"/"enable" button. But how do I make sure I am allowing this for Iranians only?? + While Tor is enabled under "sharing," is this enough? Am I not able to browse while it is working as a bridge?

Damn these posts are so few and far between I don't think i'm going to get answered soon. I'll post elsewhere as well….. and/or email some savvy people…..

I have my tor disabled until someone can answer me so I really need this answered. If anyone can help out thanks!

Sorry, I tried replying to you from my phone while I was moving but
apparently it didn't go through. Here it is again.

The way Tor is setup it's pretty much impossible to limit it to just
Iranians. The Tor enabled/disabled option in the corner of Firefox is
just for people actually using Tor to get around filters. To share
your internet with people who need it you simply set Vidalia to share
your connection with Tor users as described above.

So I guess my Tor has been running. And from what I understand the "Relay traffic for the Tor network" and the "Help censored users reach the Tor network" can only be run exclusively. I only want to put it on the latter setting, I believe. I'm not sure what the former does. Here's the thing" When I have Tor "Enabled" with the firefox button, it freezes my browsing. Perhaps Tor is still working for my bandwidth donation or filtering bypass for others whether the switch is on or off , but again when on and green, it disallows any further internet navigation. Is that normal???

You DO NOT need to have Tor Enabled in Firefox. That button is for
people currently using Tor to stay anonymous while browsing in
Firefox. If you are only running a bridge or a relay you just need to
have Vidalia running in your taskbar.

I sent my Tor Bridge directly to the Secretariate at Prince Reza Pahlavis office. I didn't get any hate mail back, so I guess we're good. The bridge started getting traffic right away.

I don't necesarilly support a return to Monarchy, but I new for sure that it wouldn't fall into the wrong hands, since he has thousands of contacts in Iran.

At night I keep a Tor relay open on my other computer with lots of exits open. By morning there is a steady stream eating up about 70% of my bandwidth.

Have some questions Ian. You can reply @ e-mail
