Thank you, Isis and Tom.

With possible config changes in mind, is it best to use ports 80 and 443
for pluggable transports?

IIRC the bridgeDB prefers to hand out at least one bridge with port 80
or 443 open. Right now the bridge runs obfs3 on 80/tcp and obfs4 on
443/tcp. Is that still a desirable setup (despite having to run bits as
root)?

thanks again and hope you are well
