Bridges documentation

Yes, this is much clearer, thank you.

I think the remark about the process being the same as in Debian is redundant. Plus, it only applies up to step 2. Step 3 is specific to Whonix. So, I’d just remove it.

For myself, I keep a concise version of this page. This is all I need:

Step 1 - Obtain bridges from https://bridges.torproject.org/
Step 2 - Using the bridges, edit /etc/tor/torrc to be of the following format:

DisableNetwork 0
UseBridges 1
ClientTransportPlugin obfs2,obfs3,obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy

bridge obfs4 192.235.207.85:42086 0EEB10BF4B4FAF56D46E
cert=oue8sYYw5wi4n3mf2WDOg iat-mode=0
bridge obfs4 34.218.26.20:43263 DD21A551767816A0C9495
cert=7qzS6KASquPvJU82Fm7qoJw iat-mode=0
bridge obfs4 161.217.177.95:10703 B3B8009D01BB7E5FDFAEC cert=4RaIqGiOytEXm6Hw
iat-mode=0

Step 3 - Have the changes take effect:
sudo whonixsetup
sudo service tor@default reload

The explanations throughout the document are mostly good and helpful, but I find it exhausting to continuously filter through instructions not relevant to me (Qubes-Whonix and graphical whonix). It takes more time - instead of following sequentially, I need to skip sections, but very carefully, not to miss anything by mistake. This of course applies not to this page specifically. Maybe color - code the different versions (inspired by the Qubes frames colors concept :slight_smile: )
