Dear Team,

Hi,

I started building new images for Amazon EC2, as of last night. I noticed that obf2 and obf3 ports are hard-coded and the same for all Tor instances on Amazon.

Is there a specific reason for this? If not, can I randomize the ports?

Users need to create a security group in the EC2 web interface and specify which ports their instances will be using. If you randomize the ports used by the Tor Cloud instances, users will have no idea which ports to open.

Also, you can drop obfs2 now and just implement support for normal bridges and obfs3. In a few weeks, you should be able to add scramblesuit and one other transport as well.
