Comment (by cohosh): Since this project is in many ways similar to bridgedb, here's the bridgedb help message for reference: {{{ Hey, cohosh! Welcome to BridgeDB! COMMANDs: (combine COMMANDs to specify multiple options simultaneously) get help Displays this message. get bridges Request vanilla bridges. get ipv6 Request IPv6 bridges. get transport [TYPE] Request a Pluggable Transport by TYPE. get key Get a copy of BridgeDB's public GnuPG key. Currently supported transport TYPEs: obfs4 BridgeDB can provide bridges with several types of Pluggable Transports[0], which can help obfuscate your connections to the Tor Network, making it more difficult for anyone watching your internet traffic to determine that you are using Tor. Some bridges with IPv6 addresses are also available, though some Pluggable Transports aren't IPv6 compatible. Additionally, BridgeDB has plenty of plain-ol'-vanilla bridges - without any Pluggable Transports - which maybe doesn't sound as cool, but they can still help to circumvent internet censorship in many cases.
