Re: [tor-relays] Call for setting up new obfs4 bridges

[torix@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Looking at the new, improved instructions for Debian/Ubuntu obfs4 bridges, I am confused by the talk about a fixed obfs4 bridge port. The line to do this is commented out.  Does that mean it is optional to give obfs4 a fixed port?  If it were a random port, however, I'd need a lot of open ports on my firewall...

TIA,
