Ideally this server is located in a democracy with strong digital privacy laws. Step 1: Leasing a server… #īefore you can setup a Tor Bridge you will need to lease a server from somewhere. Consider checking out the DigitalOcean Community for more tutorials. If you have not used the Linux shell before I recommend completing Codecademy’s Command Line Tutorial. This tutorial focuses on configuring a tor bridge server, it does not explain the basics of running a Linux Server and it assumes that you have basic Linux shell knowledge.
This tutorial explains how to create your own private Tor Bridge to bypass these restrictions. Unfortunately some organizations have developed technology that makes it difficult to access the Tor Network. Some organizations in the country argue the list has been abused numerous times in the past, to silence the political opposition’s voice in the digital realm.The Tor Network is a powerful tool for browsing the internet anonymously and evading online censorship and web filters.
