Looking into BridgeDB, we have 200 obfs2 bridges, but only 40 obfs3 bridges: this means that we need more people running the new Python obfsproxy! Upgrading obfsproxy should be easy now, since we prepared new instructions and Debian/Ubuntu packages. If you run Debian or Ubuntu check out these instructiosn: https://www.torproject.org/projects/obfsproxy-debian-instructions.html.en otherwise use these: https://www.torproject.org/projects/obfsproxy-instructions.html.en (and make sure your pip is upgraded so that it uses HTTPS [4])
The easiest way to run an obfs3 bridge is to spin up an Amazon EC2 instance from https://cloud.torproject.org/. The instance will automatically be a normal bridge, an obfs2 bridge, and an obfs3 bridge. The bridge will announce itself to the bridge database, so you don't have to email us with the IP and port. The best part is that it will cost you less than $30 per month!
