+<hr />
+
+<p>
+If you're a server operator, it's possible that you'd like to run a bridge 
+node. Below is a minimal <tt>torrc</tt> configuration that allows for bridged 
+entry into the Tor network:
+
+<pre>
+SocksPort 0
+Nickname BridgeExample
+ORPort 443
+BridgeRelay 1
+PublishServerDescriptor bridge
+Exitpolicy reject *:*
+</pre>
+
+When configured as a bridge, your server will <b>not</b> appear in the public
+Tor network.
+
+If you wish to tell a user to use your bridge, simply give them the IP
+adddress of the Tor node, the TCP port as configured by <tt>ORPort</tt> and the
+fingerprint of the server. The fingerprint should be in your Tor log files or
+in <tt>/var/lib/tor/fingerprint</tt> depending on your platform.
+
+If you would like to learn more about Bridges from a technical standpoint,
+please read the <a
+href="https://tor-svn.freehaven.net/svn/tor/trunk/doc/spec/bridges-spec.txt";>Tor
+bridges specification</a>. If you're interested in running a private bridge or
+other specific uses, please do read the specification.
