Comment (by cypherpunks):

 > Try e-mail?

 Assume that email, SMS, social networks, messengers, forums, any other
 unencrypted channels are censored too and that people trying to acquire
 bridges using such personalized channels are prosecuted. Bridges must be
 acquired stealthy. Noone must know that you are using a bridge except the
 bridge itself.

 >Second, reality is different. For me only 1/10 bridges from bridges.tpo
 was affected by your "3 firewall rules".

 Maybe.
