Comment (by cypherpunks):

 > Why? It's easy for everyone to download some bridges' addresses, look at
 them, spot common subnets and create just 3 firewall rules to block most
 of them, even unknown? Its not a bug, its a vuln!

 First:
 > Then other people should step up and run bridges, instead of just
 Torservers. But this isn't a bug, it's more an outreach problem.

 Second, reality is different. For me only 1/10 bridges from bridges.tpo
 was affected by your "3 firewall rules".

 > How can I request a new one if TPO websites are blocked? And what if I
 requested a new one and would be given the new one already blocked?
