They do support port forwarding, I have used it before. I have just only ever used their service before with Windows so may need to get used to it some on Linux. Is there a guide to setting up an obfuscated bridge on Debian? I am aware this may not work fantastically as virtual machines can be a pain, and also the vpn may not be the best way to run a relay, but will try it to see if it works out ok.

So the IP address won't be changing. However, you would need to forward the bridge port (TCP 443) to the VPN exit server. And it looks like PureVPN doesn't allow that. So you'd need to use a VPN service that does. For the one-year plan, PureVPN costs ~$4 per month. Decent VPNs that do support port forwarding cost about $5-$9 per month. But for that, you can lease a VPS with gigabit uplink. And running a bridge won't likely generate abuse complaints. > On Sat, May 26, 2018 at 4:40 PM Neel Chauhan <neel@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> You normally can't run a server through a regular "proxy" as you would >> need to be able to advertise an open port for the bridge and regular >> proxy servers won't let you do that.
