I can't get this to work at all on Rackspace. I've tried CentOS 6.0 and Ubuntu 11.10.
For CentOS I had to compile everything but that worked and Tor worked as a bridge without the obfsproxy. For Ubuntu I followed the direction for installing from the repositories and Tor worked as a bridge but not with the proxy. All I ever get in the log on either system even with Log debug is Feb 11 06:10:28.000 [warn] Could not setup the environment of the managed proxy at '/usr/local/bin/obfsproxy'. Not sure what else I can try that would be more revealing. Ubuntu was Tor v0.2.3.11-alpha (git-8266d633bc577784) Centos was Tor 0.2.3.11-alpha (git-9ce9836f853d8a31) On 2/10/2012 3:41 AM, Jacob Appelbaum wrote: > Hi, > > In the last 48 hours a major campaign of filtering has started in Iran - > it started slow and now appears to be that nearly all SSL/TLS traffic is > blocked on a few major Iranian ISPs.
