Nope. It is absolutely normal.
When you setup a new bridge it's quite possible to see 0 clients for
many weeks. It happened to all my new bridges as well.
After some time they get "distributed" to clients (clients learn about
them) and they start seeing client traffic. It's normal to see some
countries more than others which are known to censor Tor or otherwise
monitor its usage like the ones you mention.
It's all good and within normal parameters. Keep them running :) Thanks
for contributing!
