See these tickets: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/40552 https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/41913 > So, where is the advantage on additionally providing the fingerprint and the > obfs4 certificate when connecting to Tor (I can imagine that it has > something to do with authenticity)?

If you add just IP:ORPort (**ORPort** and not the OBFS4 Port) you have a "vanilla" Tor bridge: a bridge that doesn't obfuscate your Tor traffic. So it may not work in countries/ISPs doing DPI. To use your own obfs4 bridge, you need to build the "complete bridge line"[1]. cheers, Gus [1] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/manual/-/issues/130 -- The Tor Project Community Team Lead
