Guide to Creating a tor bridge


I)  Installing Linux

Install Linux Debian via a clean .iso file torrented using I2p


2.  Open the terminal window by typing "CTRL-ALT-T" or "CTRL-ALT-F1”. Then you want to check the edition of linux that you are running to ensure it is the same one this guide is using ( Debian stable stretch ). to do this type. [ 1 ]

lsb_release -c

3. Next you want to get full root privileges this is done by typing “ su “ into the terminal window.
NOTE: when typing in the admin password no text will appear rest assured that you are still actually typing in the password.

4. Next, you should upgrade your Ubuntu distro to the latest version. Thus, in the terminal window, type "apt-get update". When that is finished, type "apt-get dist-upgrade" and say yes to the install. This could take a bit of time. But, it's worth doing.

II)   Installing Tor

1. In order to later install source lines with  https:// in them to the sources.list file you need to install the
apt-transport-https package. Install by typing

apt install apt-transport-https


2. In your open terminal window, type "nano /etc/apt/sources.list"  Note the space between nano and /. Then, add the following lines at the bottom of the file: [ 1 ]

deb https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org stretch main
deb-src https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org stretch main

3. To close Nano and save the file, type "CTRL-X". You'll be prompted for the file name, where you can just press "Enter" and then select "Y" to overwrite it.

4. Next install the update that will allow you to use the curl command.

apt install curl

5. At the prompt in the terminal window, enter the next following lines one by one. [ 1 ]


curl https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89.asc | gpg --import

gpg --export A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89 | apt-key add -


6. The Tor project provides a Debian package to help you keep our signing key current. It is recommended you use it. Install it with the following commands:

 apt update
 apt install tor deb.torproject.org-keyring
