Finally yesterday I installed ubuntu 16.04 and after that I installed tor and obfs4. I add this line at the end of torrc file:

UseBridges 1
Bridge obfs4 82.243.119.185:990 B08238781C2CD80DBD95AEABEB6F6C75F2E2CEB6 cert=1udeMlFNs3sJ20zwpPE6nShZqqwDb3F1ET4KzfSfD+fktkue9zNx9H3t+yLCPAsg+6UTUA iat-mode=0

ClientTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy --managed

But it didn't work, here is the log:

In your torrc there is the line

ClientTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy --managed

Furthermoer the log file states:

Jun 08 21:33:05.000 [warn] Could not launch managed proxy executable at '/usr/bin/obfs4proxy' ('Operation not permitted').

According to the manpage of obfs4proxy there is no option --managed. This was used for obfsproxy. So if you delete the option --managed and restart Tor, it will start and use obfs4proxy.

You could fix your problem with apparmor like this:

First open /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/tor with your favorite editor (with root user)

  • sudo gedit /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/tor

Then change the /usr/bin/obfs4proxy PUx, to /usr/bin/obfs4proxy ix, and save it!

And after that reboot
