Replace "NODENAME" above (actually it can match any field about a node).
"type=bridge&" can be left out if you want to seach all nodes.

('you' meaning the 'bridge operator'?) You (as the operator)
can find out the pool you're in; there is an API somewhere
that tells you all the bridges, just without their IP addresses.
Did that for mine, just can't remember the URL offhand.

Bridges are randomly assigned into one of 5 pools to be given out to clients. The pools are served over https, smtps, instant messaging, human to human social networks, or put in reserve. The bridge operator cannot find out to which pool you belong. Typically, the bridges in the https and smtps pools see usage right away. As an example, I ran a bridge for years passing minimal traffic. I gave out my bridge IP and fingerprint to a few activists at a conference and it seems their entire country used it for the next year. An easy way to test "is my bridge working?" is to use it yourself. -- Andrew http://tpo.is/contact pgp 0x6B4D6475 ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays

My standard-relay doesn't see any outbound connections (though relaying lots of data of course). Would be nice if somebody could confirm that outbound connections in a properly configured bridge mean that it is actually _used_ already. thanks > > ___ > tor-relays mailing list > tor-relays@lists.torproject.org > https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays > ___ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays

The torrc file has options for rate and burst speeds and an AccountingMax setting to limit the amount of traffic you route. Tor then does the math and will "hibernate" its routing. You can set these values to whatever works for you. I imagine Vidallia has these settings somewhere, too, if you use that to configure your node.

Re: [tor-relays] Checking a bridge
I have the same worry as Martin. I set up a bridge on AWS 2 weeks ago by following the instructions here https://cloud.torproject.org/ and choosing a bridge image for Ireland. Setup went well, log files on startup tell me my bridge contacts the tor network, and I checked I could use my bridge by explicitly configuring it in a tor client. But the traffic I see in arm is very small (around 100 MB / week) compared to what I observed when I tested a tor relay (over 2 GB in a week-end). On the other hand, I didn't find my fingerprint in Globe. Is there something wrong or can this be a normal situation that happens sometime ? Do all fingerprints end up in Globe ? T.
