+Most [Pluggable Transports](/circumvention), such as obfs4, rely on the use of
"bridge" relays.
Like ordinary Tor relays, bridges are run by volunteers; unlike ordinary
relays, however, they are not listed publicly, so an adversary cannot identify
them easily.
Using bridges in combination with pluggable transports helps to conceal the
fact that you are using Tor, but may slow down the connection compared to using
ordinary Tor relays.
