Hi,

Tom's advice above is pretty solid.  Please, do not do as starlight suggested,
since (as Tom already mentioned) it takes a while for BridgeDB to distribute
your Bridge to enough users.

Since you've seen the traffic drop off, you might want to consider changing IP
addresses.  Also, if you aren't already, you might want to consider running the
obfs4 Pluggable Transport if you can, since it is direct probing resistant and
DPI-resistant.

Thanks for running a Bridge!
