The instructions provided in the following sections are geared towards the user running BeagleBridge on a home network. The bridge will consume some otherwise unused bandwidth and donate it to the Tor network. You should check your ISP's Terms of Service before running a server to see whether it's permitted. Also, you'll need to configure port forwarding from your home router. As there are numerous devices, each with their own configuration mechanism, you should consult your router's manual on how to enable port forwarding.
The Tor images in the official Debian repository are not as up to date as those from the Tor Project. We'll use the Tor Project's development repository to retrieve the latest software. This is especially important when you are running a bridge, as the bridge and the pluggable transport software are updated frequently.
