obfs4 is a good PT to run. Here is a graph of the top 10 countries: https://metrics.torproject.org/userstats-bridge-table.html > • I looked on the tor website and could only find the instructions for > installing PT on Linux at > https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/PluggableTransports/obfs4proxy. > Is there currently a way to install the PT for Obfs4 on Mac OS High Sierra > (this would be installed via homebrew)? You can use “brew search” in your terminal to find homebrew packages. It doesn’t look like obfs4proxy is available via homebrew: http://brewformulas.org/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&search%5Bterms%5D=obfs4proxy&button=&search%5Bnames%5D=0&search%5Bnames%5D=1&search%5Bfilenames%5D=0&search%5Bfilenames%5D=1&search%5Bdescriptions%5D=0&search%5Bdescriptions%5D=1 You could try a manual install: https://gitweb.torproject.org/pluggable-transports/obfs4.git/plain/README.md > • Would it be possible to keep my current relay fingerprint? Keeping your current relay fingerprint is a bad idea. It makes your bridge easier to censor, and it doesn’t help bridge users. Delete your keys and start again. T
