I have a new question now, I currently have set up number of tor relays on my router which are loadbalanced using squid... in the hope to increase throughput and perhaps achieve increased anonymity by sending requests for one site through different tor routes...

Is that advisable or even effective? My feeling is that the connection is somewhat more reliable than with just one tor relay.. and following on with this could one of these relays be set up to connect to tor via a bridge and then pass directory info on to the other relays running on the same machine?

It's the google spreadsheet that load the bridge information embedded
into a google site.

I need a google account for that. What if I don't want one?

So, any new ideas anybody? I still feel it would be best if 1. there was a special function within tor to change from using a bridge to becoming a bridge whithin the censored network, and 2. spreading this bridge-status info locally... perhaps like dht in torrent.. only revealing a small selection of available bridges nearby.. i obviously only have a very dim idea of what i'm talking about.. sorry about that

anyways, if these two problems could be addressed tor could be a biggie with a lot of people here.. ;) -- think: cheap openwrt low maintenance appliance..
