Hi, So I had a thought. It seems like a lot of the relays run off of various port numbers (of course). However if all of the relays and bridges are running off of various port numbers (ie 9001, 1, etc.), couldn’t this stop censored users (who’s isp or local firewall only allows certain por

Yes, that’s a good point. I just thought that on observing that, it might be too easy for a censoring isp to block tor just by blocking the ports the relays usually listen on, or identify tor easily by port number even when using obfscated bridges. Good point though, thanks Sent from my iPhone
