My college recently blacklisted tor traffic, which was my only connection to the sites I regularly use, and I would rather not use tor browser. I cannot add bridges to the /etc/tor/torrc file.
I have followed all the steps in the thread: How to set new bridges for tor?
obfsproxy is definitely installed
I have added them in the format:
UseBridges 1
ClientTransportPlugin obfs3, scamblesuit exec /usr/bin/obfsproxy managed
Bridge obfs3 <162.243.5.40:36325> <1422EFD2258405A257265F5A098F85C3144E1118>
and in the format:
UseBridges 1
ClientTransportPlugin obfs3, scamblesuit exec /usr/bin/obfsproxy managed
Bridge obfs3 162.243.5.40:36325 1422EFD2258405A257265F5A098F85C3144E1118
After I restart or reload tor it comes up with the error
It works when I add UseBridged 0
but as soon as I add:
ClientTransportPlugin obfs3, scamblesuit exec /usr/bin/obfsproxy managed
or
ClientTransportPlugin obfs3 exec /usr/bin/obfsproxy managed
The following error message is displayed:
Job for tor.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status tor.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
Dec 01 15:22:18 P systemd[1]: tor.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

When I # out the added lines it runs fine, and I can run connections through the proxy on a different network. Am I missing something obvious or has the format changed?
