From: nigko <nigko.yerden <at> gmail.com> To: bug-guix <at> gnu.org Subject: Re: Tor daemon is unable to use obfuscation Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2024 11:13:15 +0500
I have found why it is not working! Tor process is simply not allowed to have access to the obfuscator binary because it is running inside all Linux namespaces except "net", in particular in "mnt" namespace. We need to add path/to/obfuscator/binary to the #:mappings field of the least-authority-wrapper call inside tor-shepard-service body in /gnu/service/networking.scm. I have checked, this makes obfuscation fully functional.

There are a few of them in the guix repo, see e.g. go-gitlab-torproject-org-tpo-anti-censorship-pluggable-transports-lyrebird or go-github-com-operatorfoundation-obfs4 packages. The obfuscator is also installed in the system profile.

Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2024 18:11:10 -0300
Hi Nigko, seg 22 abr 2024 às 08:58:39 (1713787119), nigko.yerden <at> gmail.com enviou: > Pluggable transports are programs that disguise Tor traffic, which > can be useful in case Tor is censored. Pluggable transports > cannot be configured by #:config-file file exclusively because Tor > process is run via 'least-authority-wrapper' and cannot have access > to transport plugin, which is a separate executable (Bug#70302, > Bug#70332). I can confirm that the tor service is unable to fork-exec a pluggable-transport and the bootstrap process is halted at its start when trying to use a system wide bridge + PT. However, this patch does not seem to address the issue at hand, since it just creates new tor-service-type configuration options that accomplish the same as configuring on config-file directly. Have you had success with this? I had no luck.

How would one know beforehand which binary to point to? One would first need to install the PT and look to its path on store and then link to it in a new configuration. And then this link would have to be manualy updated. Am I missing something here? Finally, next time, try to keep the issue to a single thread. I'm replying to #70332 and #70302 just for reference, but let's keep to #70341 going forward. Cheers!
