Hello. The tor network is blocked in my country, so I need to use bridges. I have requested bridges on bridge-db and can use them in the tor browser. But how do I use bridges in torctl? My configuration file /etc/tor/torrc looks like this right now:
Bridge obfs4 <ip:port> <fingerprint> cert=<cert> iat-mode=0
Bridge obfs4 <ip:port> <fingerprint> cert=<cert> iat-mode=0
Bridge obfs4 <ip:port> <fingerprint> cert=<cert> iat-mode=0
UseBridges 1
But torctl does not use bridges anyway.

Install obfs4proxy and try:

UseBridges 1 
ClientTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy

Bridge obfs4 <ip:port> <fingerprint> cert=<cert> iat-mode=0
Bridge obfs4 <ip:port> <fingerprint> cert=<cert> iat-mode=0
Bridge obfs4 <ip:port> <fingerprint> cert=<cert> iat-mode=0

You cannot just insert bridges in torrc manually - the changes will be overwritten by torctl. The easy workaround.
