What is the difference between a bridge and a relay?</a></b><br> - A bridge is a hidden relay used only to forward traffic on to the rest - of the Tor network. A bridge will usually see less traffic than a relay, and - thus consume less bandwidth. This is something to consider if you're worried - about the cost. - <br><br> - When you set up a bridge, we will automatically distribute the bridge - address (that is, the IP address and the port Tor is listening on) for - you via email and on <a - href="https://bridges.torproject.org%22%3Ebridges.torproject.org</a>. If you only - want a specific group of people (such as close friends and family) to use the - bridge, set up a private bridge instead. - <br><br> - A non-exit relay is a public server used only to forward traffic on to - the rest of the Tor network. No traffic will ever exit from your relay. - A relay will usually see more traffic than a bridge, so please keep - this in mind if you're worried about the cost. + <a href="#HowMuchDoesItCost">1.
