New update: In the last few weeks, internal political conflicts and other events[1] in Turkmenistan have led to another wave of censorship on Tor and anti-censorship tools. Tor bridges have been one of the few free alternatives for people in Turkmenistan to connect with the world and access the open Internet.
I stopped snowflake and now a bridge is running on my dynIP.
## torrc example

But I have that in the log :-( Jul 30 16:48:29 t520 Tor-01[93466]: The IPv4 ORPort address 127.0.0.1 does not match the descriptor address 203.0.113.18. If you have a static public IPv4 address, use 'Address <IPv4>' and 'OutboundBindAddress <IPv4>'. If you are behind a NAT, use two ORPort lines: 'ORPort <PublicPort> NoListen' and 'ORPort <InternalPort> NoAdvertise'.

I don't know if I should ignore that or better configure it that way: ORPort 127.0.0.1:8443 NoListen ORPort 8443 NoAdvertise ORPort [::1]:8443 NoListen ORPort 8443 NoAdvertise
I'm aware of https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/issues/40208 I hope to get it done with scipting on my Mikrotik, or switch to ipv4 only.
frontdesk@torproject.org has no PGP key, can I send you or meskio the bridgeline?
Bridgeline must be: Bridge obfs4 <IP ADDRESS>:<PORT> <FINGERPRINT> cert=abra+kadabra iat-mode=0 But DynIP changes every few days. Do you also give the bridge users myrouter.example.net?
Because of your post in the forum: https://forum.torproject.org/t/orport-127-0-0-1-auto/8470 should we do this with all running bridges, or only the hidden ones?
