We also assume that you have a working knowledge of the concepts, and purposes, of IP addresses, gateways, switches, and routers. Note: while we have tried to make the whole exercise of setting up a VLAN as simple as possible, it is assumed that you, the reader, have a basic grasp of network configuration.
In this article, we will see how you can create a VLAN and then configure it to allow data packets from another VLAN to cross over into it. The LAN part indicates that we are partitioning physical hardware while the virtual part indicates we are using logic to accomplish it. After that, the address for your bridge will be given out to users.A Virtual Local Area Network or VLAN is a way of partitioning computers on a network into cluster groups that serve a common business purpose. Tor will start up as a bridge, confirm that it is reachable from the outside, and then tell the bridge authority that it exists. You should not have to do anything once the instance is up and running. The images have been configured with automatic package updates and port forwarding, so you do not have to worry about Tor not working or the server not getting security updates. Setting up a Tor bridge on Amazon EC2 is simple and will only take you a couple of minutes. EC2 has a free introductory offer and there's an easy Tor image that is configured and ready to go - but if you don't qualify for the free offer, you can donate a powerful Tor bridge for as little as $30 a month, and help people all over the world who want to be more anonymous and more private.
Now, Tor's developers want its supporters to set up Tor "bridges" on Amazon's cloud computing platform, EC2. The more computers there are in the Tor network, the better it works. The Tor project, whose network tool helps people avoid online censorship, works by bouncing traffic around several different computers before it reaches its destination.
