- <p><b><a class="anchor" href="#WhatIsTheDifference">1. What is the difference between a bridge and a relay?</a></b><br>
- A bridge is a hidden relay used only to forward traffic on to the rest
- of the Tor network. A bridge will usually see less traffic than a relay, and
- thus consume less bandwidth. This is something to consider if you're worried
- about the cost.
- <br><br>
- When you set up a bridge, we will automatically distribute the bridge
- address (that is, the IP address and the port Tor is listening on) for
- you via email and on <a
- href="https://bridges.torproject.org";>bridges.torproject.org</a>. If you only
- want a specific group of people (such as close friends and family) to use the
- bridge, set up a private bridge instead.
- <br><br>
- A non-exit relay is a public server used only to forward traffic on to
- the rest of the Tor network. No traffic will ever exit from your relay.
- A relay will usually see more traffic than a bridge, so please keep
- this in mind if you're worried about the cost.
