Comment:

 I rolled out the beta test in the beginning of February when I sent Excito
 B3 devices to 20 people. 15 of them have set up Tor as a bridge, 1 has an
 interesting network setup and is unable to set up a bridge, and 4 have not
 set up the device at all.

 I asked the testers to answer 8 questions. 13 testers replied to all
 questions, 1 tester replied to some of them. Below is a summarized version
 of the replies I got:

   * 2 had the onionbox directly connected to the Internet, 12 had placed
 the onionbox behind a router/firewall
   * 6 had problems when setting up the device, configuring the network and
 enabling the wireless, 4 of them had to re-flash the device
   * 0 had problems configuring Tor (the tester with the interesting
 network setup needs to figure out port forwarding or something to make the
 bridge reachable from the outside)
   * The device is also being used for wifi, as a media server, Tor hidden
 service, munin, pentesting, file sharing
   * 1 contacted support, 1 found and reported bugs, 2 found bugs but did
 not report them (I will forward bugs to Excito)
   * Feature requests include QoS config interface, transparent proxy,
 hidden service, TrueCrypt filestore, stats of bridge usage, better network
 functionality, smarter behind NAT, obfsproxy
