Hi!

I run an obfs4 bridge.

1) Why is the advertised bandwidth 56.72 KB/s when the relay is on a (shared) gigabit connection? According to my experiments it should be several MB/s.

2) Where can I submit my bridges to help people in Iran, China etc, besides the Tor BridgeDB?

Kind regards Tor-node.net

Hey, Thanks for running an obfs4 bridge! To answer (1), we don't have any mechanism for measuring bridge bandwidth. We don't even yet have a design for this, as there are several unsolved problems pertaining to running the bandwidth tests in a manner which does not immediately signal to a censor that the server is a bridge relay, before the bridge is even used by a client. More research on idea methods for conducting bridge bandwidth tests would be most welcome. For (2), there isn't anywhere else, as far as I know. If you have friends in those places who use Tor, you could simply give the bridge line to them. It would be really neat if there were other BridgeDB-like things for distributing censorship circumvention information (and not just for Tor bridges).
