The second point is: I looked at the configuration, and noticed bridge is set to 1. I though it made the tor relay private, do I have miss-understood something?
From https://www.torproject.org/docs/bridges: Bridge relays (or "bridges" for short) are Tor relays that aren't listed in the main Tor directory (as opposed to relays). Since there is no complete public list of them, even if an ISP is filtering connections to all the known Tor relays, they probably won't be able to block all the bridges.
The difference between a Tor Cloud "obfsproxy bridge" and a "private bridge" is whether or not the bridge reports its address (IP address and port) to the Tor Project. If it does, the address will automatically be distributed to users who need it (through the help desk, bridges.torproject.org, etc). If it does not, it's up to you to distribute the address.
OK, so to be sure I understand: with an obfsproxy one, relay address and port are listed but not in atlas.torproject.org?
Yes, that's correct. The address will be distributed to users automatically. Thanks for running a bridge!
