I tried to run tor in command line by running

service tor start

After seeing this message

 * Starting tor daemon...                                                [ OK ]

I tried to start "obfsproxy managed" but this error occurs:

pyptlib.config.EnvError: neither TOR_PT_{SERVER,CLIENT}_TRANSPORTS set

I used

export TOR_PT_CLIENT_TRANSPORTS="PATH"

to set the variable but after that other errors occur.

Should I set all these variables manually? Isn't there any mechanism to set them automatically?

obfsproxy should be setup inside of torrc if you wish to use it with tor, it shouldn't be executed seperately. The managed flag indicates that the opening process will be "managing" it, in this case the opening process is your shell and it's not providing the required configuration parameters.

The process for adding obfs3 bridges is outlined in this answer: How to add obfs3 bridges in torrc?

  • If you want to play around and experiment with Pluggable Transports then this is probably the document for you: gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/pt-spec.txt
