The difference between bridge and relay is that the list of relays is publicly available. Bridges also may provide tor traffic obfuscation to fool DPI such as the setup we have in NixOS now. > My naive assumption is that starting and stoping the bridge every few > seconds would not do anyone any good. So my question how long does it need > to up for it to be worth while? It's a matter of both uptime % and total running time. It takes some time for your bridge contact info to trickle down to the users, so once you enable the bridge for the first time, it may take many days for the traffic to pick up. Occasional server reboot and intermittent outages aren't going to cause any problems once your relay is known to the system to be generally available. If your connection is very erratic and IP changes too often, a good alternative is FlashProxy(doesn't require adobe flash): https://crypto.stanford.edu/flashproxy/ https://crypto.stanford.edu/flashproxy/options.html Currently, FlashProxy is the only reliable way to unblock TOR in Iran. > On Tue, Jun 11, 2013 at 7:55 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > > В письме от Вторник 11 июня 2013 09:03:13 пользователь Lluís Batlle i > > Rossell > > > > написал: > > > On Tue, Jun 11, 2013 at 04:00:28AM +0300, [email protected] wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > > > > > Helping people in censorship-heavy countries has just gotten even > > > > easier. > > > > > > TOR in bridge mode now also runs obfsproxy which helps defeat those > > > > nasty > > > > > > DPI boxes in those countries which are actively trying to prevent > > > > people > > > > > > from using TOR. > > > > > > > > There are no known cases of non-exit node operators getting attacked > > > > by > > > > governments.
