 I have been running the server for a while
 [https://crypto.stanford.edu/flashproxy/embed.html?debug&unsafe_logging&facilitator_poll_interval=30&initial_facilitator_poll_interval=5
 in a debug&unsafe way], and finally I got a server saying `relay:{ host:
 "192.81.135.242", port: 9901 }`.

 To satisfy my curiousity, I search for that IP address, and got one result
 in
 [https://github.com/infinity0/flashproxy/blob/master/facilitator/examples
 /facilitator-relays the example config], with one item perfectly matching
 it. So it appears that either I am so lucky that I hit the example server,
 or the list is actually really that short.

 The attachment is a naive bash script that parses `network-status-
 microdesc-consensus-3` (avaliable at
 https://collector.torproject.org/recent/relay-descriptors/microdescs
 /consensus-microdesc/) and generates a list.
