Right now, it is important to get more obfs3 bridges for China since obfs2 no
longer works [0]. In general, it would be better to run bridges and relays on
separate IP addresses to defend against censors who simply blacklist all IP
addresses listed in the consensus. At least in China, however, it is currently
possible to run both on just one IP address since the GFW blocks Tor relays
based on IP:port tuples.

Cheers,
