Replying to [comment:2 runa]:
> Define "guru"? Sebastian, Robert and I have all set up/configured
stunnel and we might be able to answer some of your questions.
What we need are specific instructions that can be run on the client side
and the bridge side.
On the client side, we want to set up an stunnel that accepts incoming
connections to localhost and forwards them, encrypted, to the remote side.
Then the Tor client should configure that stunnel local socket as her
bridge.
On the remote side, we want to accept incoming ssl connections, decrypt
them, and then hand them to the local Tor relay. For example, fork a "nc
localhost 9001" for each incoming connection after the handshake. That way
the connection from the Tor client goes to the Tor bridge, but it
transparently has another layer of encryption added and then removed in
transit.
We'll want to try this on Tor bridges, not relays, due to bug #1776.
As a bonus, if this works I bet it will make bridges usable in China again
(for now).
