+### Installation
+
+To build:
+`go get git.torproject.org/pluggable-transports/obfs4.git/obfs4proxy`
+
+To install:
+Copy `$GOPATH/bin/obfs4proxy` to a permanent location (Eg: `/usr/local/sbin`)
+
+Client side torrc configuration:
+```
+ClientTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/local/sbin/obfs4proxy
+```
+
+Bridge side torrc configuration:
+```
+# Act as a bridge relay.
+BridgeRelay 1
+
+# Use obfs4proxy to provide the obfs4 protocol.
+ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/local/sbin/obfs4proxy
+
+# (Optional) Listen on the specified address/port for obfs4 connections as
+# opposed to picking a port automatically.
+#ServerTransportListenAddr obfs4 0.0.0.0:443
+```
+
+### Tips and tricks
+
+ * On modern Linux systems it is possible to have obfs4proxy bind to reserved
+   ports (<=1024) even when not running as root by granting the
+   `CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE` capability with setcap:
+
+   `# setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /usr/local/sbin/obfs4proxy`
+
+ * obfs4proxy can also act as a obfs2 and obfs3 client or server.  Adjust the
+   `ClientTransportPlugin` and `ServerTransportPlugin` lines in the torrc as
+   appropriate.
+
+ * The autogenerated obfs4 bridge parameters are placed in
+   `DataDir/pt_state/obfs4_state.json`.  An obfs4 bridge line requires the
+   `node-id`, `public-key` and `iat-mode` arguments.
