Thanks for running a bridge!

There are two ways of distributing your bridge.  You can do it
automatically by having your bridge announce itself to BridgeDB, our
bridge distribution system.  That's the default behaviour.  BridgeDB
then distributes your bridge over email, HTTPS, and moat.
Alternatively, you can distribute your bridge manually by using the
config option "BridgeDistribution none" to tell BridgeDB that it
shouldn't distribute your bridge.  If you do this, it's your
responsibility to find users and give them your bridge lines.

Not at this point.  We're not aware of any government or commercial
firewall being able to block the obfs4 protocol.
