Unless I'm reading Compass wrong, a relay with 256 Kib/s is likely to be selected as a middle node 1 time out of 10000 circuits, if not lessâ So I'd say it is not useful for the network to add relays with so little bandwidth at the present times. > If not, am I correct in thinking that a bridge is an appropriate > help?

It would be a slow bridge, but at least the likelihood it'll be of use is far greater than configuring a relay. > One other unrelated(ish) question: I'm in the UK, where the idea of > censorship isn't resisted as strongly as it ought to be, and as a > result my internet connection is subject to a smallish amount of > censorship: whatever is on the secret IWF blacklist plus the pirate > bay.

Running exit nodes from home connection is usually a bad idea. In case of abuses, law enforcement agencies are likely to believe that whoever lives there is responsible for the abuses. -- Lunar <lunar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
