Hi all, I've been running a relay for several months now. In the last weeks I read a bit about the censorship in turkey and asked myself how to help if normal Tor services are blocked. Obfs4 could help. But on the pages from torproject about running a relay you are told to run a relay if you can and a bridge only under certain circumstances. But... are there enough bridges? If I were the turkey administration, I would try to block all the bridges I could find one by one. So... do we really have enough bridges out there?
+1 on this as I've recently started running an obfs4 bridge for similar reasons as Prof. Hoffmann. Although arm seems to indicate I get very little traffic through it (avg 50Kb/sec).

Give it time, bridges take a while to be distributed to users. (It's a manual process.)
