I thinking about a bridge too. But which port is not censored in China? I have read an article about the firewall of China. They doing DPI and filtering all encrypted traffic. Obfsproxy should be a good choice. A short test give me some experience for tor connections, but more traffic inside as outside (asymmetric). I'm not sure that will work right.
A middle node need some days to get some traffic. An exit node is at full power in some hours. The guard flag for the middle nodes came after 2 weeks, I think.
Can someone give me a proposal for a bridge port that is usefull for censored countries?

Not right now. I know bridges are needed for users in countries like china and so on, but are they used much?
Yes. A bridge will utilize your server's bandwidth just as nicely as an exit relay would. Someone recently posted impressive diagrams to illustrate this, but I cannot find them now. In addition, please try to install a pluggable transport such as obfs4 to make your bridge more censorship-resistant!
Thanks for asking! C:
