Hi John,

Let's do this:

If censorship in Russia scale to a country-wide Tor block, then you
can spin as many bridges as you can. What do you think?

Thank you!,
Gus

gus,

Since all of my exit nodes are within the same /16 - would I have to run bridges on newly acquired IPv4 space?

Subject: [tor-relays] Responding to Tor censorship in Russia

Dear relay operators,

Today the torproject.org was officially blocked in Russia. You can read more about the situation here[1].

Russia is the country with the second largest number of Tor users, with more than 300,000 daily users or 15% of all Tor users.

As it seems this situation could quickly escalate to a country-wide Tor block, it's urgent that we respond to this censorship!

We need your help NOW to keep Russians connected to Tor!

We are calling on everyone to spin up a Tor bridge.

If you've ever considered running a bridge, now is an excellent time to get started, as your help is urgently needed. You can find the requirements and instructions for starting a bridge in the Help Censored Users, Run a Tor Bridge blog post: https://blog.torproject.org/run-a-bridge-campaign/
