 Replying to [comment:15 mrphs]:


 > Though number of bridge users seems to be 1/3 of typical direct
 connections to Tor.

 I'm guessing this could be due to 2 factors: 1) People not knowing about
 bridges or how to configure them. Tor stops working they assume it's
 blocked and there's no way around and 2) Pluggable Transport being too
 slow for them to function.
