[tor-talk] Obfsproxy Bridges in the Amazon Cloud

["Runa A. Sandvik" <runa.sandvik@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

The Tor Cloud images [1] for all the seven regions have been updated
to fix a bug found in the unattended-upgrades configuration. The
normal bridge images have also been updated to include obfsproxy [2],
which attempts to help users circumvent censorship by transforming the
Tor traffic between the client and the bridge.

If you are already running a Tor Cloud bridge, you will need to either
manually update your image, or set up a new Tor Cloud bridge and
terminate the old one. If you decide not to take action, your image
will fail to upgrade Tor correctly and will not be running as a
bridge.

If you just want to fix the bug in the unattended-upgrades
configuration, do the following; log on with SSH and edit
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades to say precise instead of
lucid.
