On this #GivingTuesday, we are launching 10 public @torproject #obfs4 bridges!
We don't expect these bridges to be particularly good at evading #government #censorship since they are in the same IPv4 /24 subnet as our exit relays. Countries like China and Russia undoubtably already block our subnet. However, we think they are a trustworthy (and fast) guard node when configured.
If you'd like to try one of our bridges, we have published them here:

Please consider #donating to U.S. 501(c)(3) tax-deductible #nonprofit Tor network operators before the end of the year:

(if there are any other that we missed, please let us know!)
Just a reminder that we have deployed a first set of Tor #obfs4 bridges for anyone to use, documented here:

Good for having a faster circuit, and (we think) a trustworthy first-hop for your circuit.
