Hi there,
After seeing the call to arm [1], I decided to spin up some 2 new obfuscated bridges. I am already running 2 (non-obf) bridges, and was about to boot 3 others.
I'm seeing something like 4MB/day of traffic with those obf bridges, whereas the 2 non-obf bridges show something like 10MB/sec. (
It takes a while for bridges to be distributed to users. Each bridge is automatically selected to be in one "distribution pool", for example email (bridges@bridges.torproject.org) or web ( https://bridges.torproject.org/ ). The traffic you see depends on what kind of users learn about a specific bridge, and how often/intensively they use it. So, it is quite natural to see different usage patterns across different bridges -- especially when some have been around for a while, while others are fairly new in the game.
I've set up the 2 obf bridges 8 hours ago, give or take, maybe is it just a matter of insufficient uptime?
Some bridges don't see much use over weeks, and then suddenly it hits them. Be prepared and keep them online! :)
