 Better to say {{{BridgeDistribution none}}} and leave
 {{{PublishServerDescriptor}}} at its default. That way your bridge will
 publish its statistics in the metrics dataset, but bridgedb won't give it
 out. (See comments above.)

 Also, setting ExitPolicy reject *:* is redundant with setting BridgeRelay
 1, but I guess it can't hurt to still have it there explicitly.

 Thanks!
