On June 14, 2013, the eleventh election of the President of Iran is scheduled to be held. During this time, it is possible that the government of Iran will block and censor communications over the internet. In the past, Iranians were able to continue using the internet to communicate over the internet through the use of Tor, a system of network proxies run by volunteers around the world. However, in February of 2012, the government of Iran implemented a system that blocked all Iranians from using the Tor network. Here are some graphics to demonstrate what happened from the Tor Project:

The coders at the Tor Project came up with a quick solution to address the problem which enabled Iranians to continue using Tor. They released a new program to work with Tor which created an obfuscated proxy. This guide will show you how to install an obfuscated Tor bridge on Windows so Iranians may continue to communicate via the internet if their government implements a new round of censorship.

You need to allow them to do so for the public internet, and set it so that you won't be prompted for such access again in order for your bridge to be reachable by others.] ===

21.) In the port forwarding section for your router (on some routers, it's called "virtual servers"), add your Obfuscated Proxy Ports from Step 18 as an "inbound port" and set it to point to your IPv4 Address plus port number plus your Obfuscated Proxy Port (for example, from the info gather in step 18, it would be something "192.168.1.102 1463" and "192.168.1.102 1464"). Next, you will need to add your OR Listening Port in the same manner. For our purposes, the OR listening port you are using is "443" (for example, from the info gather in step 18, it would be something "192.168.1.102 443).

22.) Combine your IP Adress and Obfuscated Proxy Ports together (from step 18). In the examples provided in step 18, it would be "256.10.32.215:1463" and "256.10.32.215:1464". To set up a semi-public bridge you will need to e-mail the combination of your IP Address and Obfuscated Tor Port to "tor-assistants[at]torproject.org". If you do not e-mail this information to tor-assistants, your Obfuscated Tor Bridge will remain unknown (unless it is discovered by a port scan) and nobody will be able to access it unless you personally tell them about it (private bridge).
