Re: [tor-relays] Unwarranted discrimination of relays with dynamic IP

Also, Rana, perhaps your set would be more valuable to clients as
a bridge than a relay?

But that's a problem for clients when your IP address changes, because
they then lose access to your bridge.

(Unless they ask the bridge authority for your new descriptor. I'm not
sure if that code works the way we want it to - I don't know how often
we test it.)

I think it would be interesting see as to whether allowing bridges to have dynamic IPs (or even encouraging it) would make them harder to block, and would make it really easy for people to contribute to the network in this small way? Or at least, having a mostly dynamic IP - some devices change their IP address more frequently than others, if my understanding is correct?
