**Child questions:**
* When I open Tor or try to search for something there is thing called “duck duck go”.
* It won’t have a search history if I use duckduckgo?
* Hypertext protocol (http) duckduckgo.com that now directs you to the data you are looking for – can we assume it’s the security bridge?

This is so their ORPort isn't reachable from the outside world. But at present it will result in two surprises for bridge operators:
* They will get "The IPv4 ORPort address 127.0.0.1 does not match the descriptor address <redacted: IP of the relay server>" scary log messages, which make them think something is wrong with their configuration
* In tor metrics, the bridge is shown in "Red" status being "down" since a couple of hours. That's because they don't have the Running flag from the bridge authority.
We should either (A) change the instructions to explain that we're having them do the experimental new closed-ORPort approach, and tell them what side effects to expect; or (B) change the instructions to have an open ORPort for now until we've finished https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/issues/7349

The whole thread was about why the tor project wanted to do a video call and how bad that was.
We should maybe add some information about this to https://community.torproject.org/relay/relays-requirements/
We can also mention starting an asociation as a good way to preserve the anonimity of individuals, while still keeping certain accountability to benefit the netwrok.
One good phrase about this issue is:
```
Remember that running a relay is an act of transparency
(even though being a Tor user is an act of privacy),
because the way to strengthen trust in relays is by having a stronger community
Be sure to set your ContactInfo to a working email address in case we need to reach you
```

I was following the guide on setting up unattended-upgrade on Debian/Ubuntu: Tor Project | Debian and Ubuntu 1
Under “2. Edit the configuration file”, the text to paste is relevant for Debian but seemingly not for Ubuntu. So on Ubuntu 20.04, when I paste that text into the configuration file and then run sudo unattended-upgrade -d it does not run an update, although sudo apt update tells me that 1 update is available. Last few lines of sudo unattended-upgrade -d:
`No packages found that can be upgraded unattended and no pending auto-removals Package dmsetup has a higher version available, checking if it is from an allowed origin and is not pinned down.

https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/bridge/debian-ubuntu/
When I hit this step:
`systemctl enable --now tor@default`
I'll get this:
```
The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy=, RequiredBy=, Also=,
Alias= settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance= for template
units). This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
• A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
.wants/ or .requires/ directory.
• A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
a requirement dependency on it.
• A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
• In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
instance name specified.
Job for tor@default.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status tor@default.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
```
I'm using a generic Ubuntu 20.04 instance on EC2/AWS.
Indeed the error message seems correct. It seems I need to manually edit:
`/lib/systemd/system/tor@default.service` which is missing the [Install] section at the bottom.
After adding:
```
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
To the bottom of `tor@default.service` unit file, it fixes the issue of me running, `systemctl enable --now tor@default`.
But my main question is, should this unit file be manually updated? or is the install doc missing a step? or is something else going wrong?
Thanks!
