Comment(by quick-dudley):

 There's one bridge I can use intermittently from China: it appears to stay
 unblocked but it isn't running 24/7 (when I have to wait for it: the
 reported uptime starts at around zero once it manages to log on). It's in
 Saudi Arabia.
 It might be an idea for some bridges to require some secret other than an
 IP address and a port, and to mimic an https server that requires
 authentication when probed by someone who doesn't have that secret. The
 problem is: I can't keep the list of servers and ports I connect to secret
 from GFW, and they can just check them to see if they're tor bridges by
 connecting to them with their own copy of tor.
