Ok thx for this explanation!
So if this server will be the n°1 on the onion network for the client, it will be a the first bottleneck because of the slow upload bandwidth... (~1Mbits/s).
I was thinking the bridge was used as a temporary door to communicate with the Tor network, then the client will use fast relays... But If I've understood, the bridge will be always used by the client as a 1st relay...

So finally :
+ obfsproxy will help people to connect to Tor if censor is too hard ? So it can be helpful ?
1Mbits/s is not very high when I see some big numbers on others servers!
+ can help the LAN computers to connect to Tor easily (why not with Privoxy...)

Is there a tool to show the bridge's usage stats ? (because Atlas and Globe will not show the server stats if I'm not wrong...)

Thx!

4. I'm confused, the "bridge" is acting like a relay ? (like a router on
a network, 50% upload / 50% download...?). Or like a hidden door to
contact the Tor network, and the client will only use relays after
without the bridge ?
(I don't want this server to be a bottleneck...!)

A bridge is the first hop of a bridge-using client, followed by the
other regular hops for a Tor circuit.
The bridge's upload and download will directly correspond to the
upload/download of the specific user(s) of your bridge.
(Plus some overhead for directory requests etc)

So if your bridge's internet connection can handle another user next to
you, it can handle the bridge.
