[tor-relays] Slow bandwidth, bridge + obfsproxy project (+Socks for LAN?)

[Petrusko]

Ok thx for this explanation!
So if this server will be the n°1 on the onion network for the client,
it will be a the first bottleneck because of the slow upload
bandwidth... (~1Mbits/s).
I was thinking the bridge was used as a temporary door to communicate
with the Tor network, then the client will use fast relays... But If
I've understood, the bridge will be always used by the client as a 1st
relay...

So finally :
+ obfsproxy will help people to connect to Tor if censor is too hard ?
So it can be helpful ?
1Mbits/s is not very high when I see some big numbers on others servers!
+ can help the LAN computers to connect to Tor easily (why not with
Privoxy...)

Is there a tool to show the bridge's usage stats ? (because Atlas and
Globe will not show the server stats if I'm not wrong...)

Thx!
