Re: [tor-relays] Web server and TOR bridge at same IP:port



I don't think you will be able to bind two daemons to the same TCP port (443). 

Maybe you could have something else listening on TCP port 443 and passing the requests onto both places?

You might be able to put a single reverse proxy in front on that port, and have that proxy send the requests to the correct daemon on the backend, but I have no idea how to actually set that up. Most common reverse proxy software (like nginx) isn't designed to understand or handle Tor or pluggable transports like obfs4.

There may be some application aware ("layer 4") firewalls that could do something like this too, but I don't think it would be straightforward. Also I'm not sure inspecting Tor packets (in order to determine they're Tor packets) is a good idea... or if that could even work since the packets will be obfuscated.

Just thinking out loud... but this seems like a difficult to implement idea.
