Connecting to your obfuscated bridge
With BeagleBridge, you have your own entry point in the Tor network. You can download
and install the Tor browser and configure it to use your bridge. This is useful anytime you
find yourself on a restricted or hostile network and want to access the Internet more an-
onymously. However, if you use
your
BeagleBridge, passive attackers could learn the IP
address to which you are connecting, which happens to be your home network. The traffic
is obfuscated, but it may look suspicious over time. It might be better to use a random
bridge address obtained via Tor. Even if you don't directly connect to your own bridge,
your bridge is helping to contribute resources to the Tor network, which helps everybody
access a censor-free Internet. To connect to your bridge, launch the Tor browser and click
on
Open Settings
as it starts up. Then, answer with a
Yes
to questions about whether your
connection is censored. Select
Enter Custom Bridges
and enter your bridge as follows,
but replace the x's with your IP address and the port number of your bridge:
bridge obfs3 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:59519
