I use "Arm" to check the Tor daemon activities.
The bridge runs a few days and I see: flags: no,
Arm relies on the consensus to tell an operator what flags his relay got, but since bridges are not published in the consensus arm does not show any flag.
The reason for bridges not being published in the consensus is to avoid adversaries from simply looking into the consensus and block bridges as well.
and there is nearly zero traffic, avg 1.4 Kbs, mostly 0. Arm displays connections and I see some IP addresses, 2 circuits. And often just - nothing. Obviously Tor is running,
Usage of bridges is low for some bridges, higher for others. Bridges that are stable for some time get more traffic, because user may come back the next day and they tell their friends that they got a working bridge.
Still it is difficult to guess who gets access to your bridge.
but Iam afraid that my config isn't useful... How can I check my bridge is really working?
Atlas has no support for bridges, yet. Onionoo provides information (also to Atlas), but not in a way to be handled by humans.
There is another project that makes use of the data Onionoo provides. It implemented searching for bridges.
