Need to add instructions for how to set up the machine for it to have an "unrestricted NAT".
Typical firewall settings appear to result in a ["restricted NAT"](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowflake/-/blob/7db2568448fed6d883b33db11e3a497c69f1748f/broker/broker.go#L125), even if the machine has a dedicated IP (no NAT) (see [this forum post](https://forum.torproject.net/t/firewall-needs-settings-for-running-standalone-snowflake-proxy/4314/2?u=wofwca), for example), while an unrestricted one is more desirable. (Although I might be wrong, since [the metrics](https://snowflake-broker.torproject.net/metrics) say that there are ~2000 unrestricted proxies?) We [already have instructions](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/community/-/blob/abea7a2c54a959136dc573489bfd3b24dd399703/content/relay/setup/post-install/contents.lr#L9) for regular Tor relays, but WebRTC (ICE) is a different kind of beast.
Need to consider both the NATed (say, behind a router), and the dedicated IP cases.
In case there's no NAT, simply allowing all incoming connections to the entire [allowed port range](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowflake/-/blob/7db2568448fed6d883b33db11e3a497c69f1748f/proxy/main.go#L35) should solve the problem, allowing the use of [`host` ICE candidates](https://webrtcforthecurious.com/docs/03-connecting/#host), but it compromises security, because another app may get assigned an ephemeral port from that range. So I thought maybe there is a way to disable [filtering](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowflake/-/wikis/NAT-matching#nat-filtering-behaviour) for the Snowflake process specifically. Or maybe use a non-ephemeral port range so that other apps can't randomly get a port from that range (but this may affect censorship-resistance). Or maybe there is a way to have one dedicated port for Snowflake (is [`SetICEUDPMux`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/pion/webrtc/v3#SettingEngine.SetICEUDPMux) it?) which can be opened up, with fallback to ephemeral ports in case the client's censor blocks that one.
There may be better mechanisms that I'm just not aware of since I'm not that good at networking (in both meanings of the word XD).

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 go to https://community.torproject.org/ and click on "relay operations" which leads me to https://community.torproject.org/relay/
I guess that maybe 'technical setup' is what I want, so I click on it, and now I'm at https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/
Since I'm setting up an exit relay, I click on exit relay, which takes me to https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/exit/
On this page, there are FreeBSD instructions, but nothing about OpenBSD.
Now, there *is* an OpenBSD section on https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/guard/ but I'm never going to find it since I'm not setting up an entry/middle node.
I wonder if we should have an "index by operating system" and an "index by type of relay" and then people can choose whichever entry point to our guide they want.https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/community/-/issues/302Please update content/apt/tor-deb-repo/contents.lr2023-01-18T18:34:04ZslrslrPlease update content/apt/tor-deb-repo/contents.lrHello,

I have tried to suggest modification, but it failed with message "Someone edited the file the same time you did." which is most certainly false.
[Here is new text to use please](https://bin.disroot.org/?fd2ae5d82b34dcf3#CBozMfZ856QRqAEvoD3ZGcBqTjSoakuN3jK8Qy64t9wm).
Edit this for me please.
I also wanted to mention that at https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/bridge/debian-ubuntu/ is line:
`On Debian, the latest version obfs4proxy package is available in stable-backports.`
Which is questionable because backports is not default repository on stable Debian and you have not linked to the tutorial on how to install it ( https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/#index2h2 / https://wiki.debian.org/Backports#Using_the_command_line ) yet stable version of the Debian already have it in main repository:
`Get:1 http://ftp.debian.org/debian bullseye/main amd64 obfs4proxy amd64 0.0.8-1+b6 [1758 kB]`
So maybe consider editing that line regarding backports.

The relay post-install info is located at [/relay/setup/post-install/](https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/post-install/), but the bridge post-install info is mixed in between the operating systems at [/relay/setup/bridge/post-install/](https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/bridge/post-install/).
I suggest moving the bridge post-install page next to the relay post-install page at [/relay/setup/](https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/).
What needs to be done:
- Move /relay/setup/post-install/ to /relay/setup/relay-post-install/
- Move /relay/setup/bridge/post-install/ to /relay/setup/bridge-post-install/
- Update all links to the new destination of /relay/setup/post-install/
- Update all links to the new destination of /relay/setup/bridge/post-install/
- Change the title of /relay/setup/bridge-post-install/contents.lr to "Bridge Post-install"
- Change the key of /relay/setup/bridge-post-install/contents.lr to "4"
- Change the key of /relay/setup/post-install/contents.lr from "4" to "5"
- Change the key of /relay/setup/snowflake/contents.lr from "5" to "6"

One is linked to https://community.torproject.org/relay/community-resources , but the other is unlinked, and there are no sections called 'legal considerations'.
> Exit relays have the greatest legal exposure and liability of all the relays. For example, if a user downloads copyrighted material while using your exit relay, you, the operator may receive a DMCA notice. Any abuse complaints about the exit will go directly to you (via your hoster, depending on the WHOIS records). Generally, most complaints can be handled pretty easily through template letters, which we'll discuss further in the **legal considerations section**.
> Because of the legal exposure that comes with running an exit relay, you should not run a Tor exit relay from your home. Ideal exit relay operators are affiliated with some institution, like a university, a library, a hackerspace or a privacy related organization. An institution can not only provide greater bandwidth for the exit, but is better positioned to handle abuse complaints or the rare law enforcement inquiry.
> If you are considering running an exit relay, please read the **section on legal considerations** for exit relay operators.

The documentation about Onion-Location https://community.torproject.org/onion-services/advanced/onion-location/ is a bit confusing.
It seems different documentations have been merged on the page, and the examples change names along the differect sections.
For example the onion address is called: `<your-onion-address>.onion`, http://{$TOR_HOSTNAME}, <your-onion-service-address.onion>, etc.
There are also some 'fake' paths in the style of `"/path/to/www.example.com.cert"` that are difficult to translate, particularly for LTR or different character languages.
Maybe it is better to start the page with some example URL and onion address and use them along the different configuration and commands of the howto.https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/community/-/issues/164I think that is a part of the relay guide that we can improve (teor)2022-01-20T19:11:28ZcypherpunksI think that is a part of the relay guide that we can improve (teor)https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2018-June/015527.html

From https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/community/l10n/-/wikis/Localization-for-developers#3-no-hardcoded-uppercases-or-capitalization :
#### NO HARDCODED UPPERCASES OR CAPITALIZATION
Ortographic rules change depending on a word being capitalized or not in many languages, as Greek and Russian. Other languages, like Arabic, don't even have capital letters, so your styling will not be seen.
That is why you should refrain of hardcoding this styles on CSS or other similar way, and if you want a capitalized sentence, write the actual sentence capitalized as you would like to see it, so the translator understands what you want, and translates your intention to the local rules (maybe adding exclamation signs)https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/community/-/issues/162Document pkg-config is required to compile tor with --enable-systemd on debian2022-01-20T19:11:28ZtraumschuleDocument pkg-config is required to compile tor with --enable-systemd on debianI was missing this detail to compile tor on debian with `--enable-systemd`.

Trying current [build options](https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=tor&arch=i386&ver=0.3.4.9-7&stamp=1544209067&raw=0) at home also fails when pkg-config isn't present:

This ought to be common knowledge and it should be documented therefor.
Background: I was overwriting /usr/bin/tor with a compiled version without systemd support and experienced an undocumented in /usr/share/doc/tor systemd feature that lead to a restart loop (legacy/trac#28410).https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/community/-/issues/31[Content] Guide for a Safe Web2021-01-19T17:36:49ZPili Guerra[Content] Guide for a Safe WebContent here: https://storm.torproject.org/grain/nsZxs67hFDCBqAYQzTzJwrContent here: https://storm.torproject.org/grain/nsZxs67hFDCBqAYQzTzJwrhttps://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/community/-/issues/7[Content] Tier 1 and Tier 2 languages2024-03-13T00:06:58ZPili Guerra[Content] Tier 1 and Tier 2 languageshttps://torpat.ch/manual-localeshttps://torpat.ch/manual-localesemmapeelemmapeelhttps://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/community/-/issues/165Make clear that being a relay operator requires transparency about the relay ...2023-06-15T15:23:46ZRoger DingledineMake clear that being a relay operator requires transparency about the relay operator, not secrecyAs part of our work on the bad-relays team and the network health team, we periodically encounter relay operators who seem to think they should be keeping which relay they run secret from us and the world.

We should change the relay operator docs on community.tpo to make it clear that while Tor is about protecting users, being a relay operator is an act of transparency -- so people who want to run relays while themselves staying anonymous and secretive are not how we achieve a robust network.
I haven't looked yet to figure out where exactly in the docs we should do this change, or figured out what exactly we should change it to say. Bonus points if somebody jumps in and does these steps. :)GusGushttps://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/community/-/issues/138[Training] Add remote training tips2023-06-15T10:28:53ZGus[Training] Add remote training tipsGusGushttps://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/community/-/issues/263[Bridges] Add dnstt instructions2022-03-27T16:09:26ZGus[Bridges] Add dnstt instructionsAs volunteers will be able to run bridges with dnstt pluggable transport, we will need to update bridges documentation.

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
