When my bridge uses only the same few MBs each day, i guess it isn't used at all right?
Is there a simple way to ensure it is in bridgeDB and functioning as it should?
thanks,
martin

You can search for the bridge fingerprint in Globe: http://globe.rndm.de/
Globe will hash the fingerprint before sending it to Onionoo to prevent leaks.
Lunar,
There are some $1 a month VPSs which could be used for bridges, I gather. Can you say that bridges wouldn't use more than 100GB a month?

I've seen bridges range from no traffic in a month to a full terabyte in a month.
So that 100GB may sit unused or it may be exhausted in days.

That's what I thought.
It's a shame not to find a use for what is there, though.

The torrc file has options for rate and burst speeds and an AccountingMax setting to limit the amount of traffic you route. Tor then does the math and will "hibernate" its routing. You can set these values to whatever works for you. I imagine Vidallia has these settings somewhere, too, if you use that to configure your node.

Bridges are randomly assigned into one of 5 pools to be given out to clients. The pools are served over https, smtps, instant messaging, human to human social networks, or put in reserve. The bridge operator cannot find out to which pool you belong. Typically, the bridges in the https and smtps pools see usage right away.
As an example, I ran a bridge for years passing minimal traffic. I gave out my bridge IP and fingerprint to a few activists at a conference and it seems their entire country used it for the next year.
An easy way to test "is my bridge working?" is to use it yourself.

('you' meaning the 'bridge operator'?) You (as the operator) can find out the pool you're in; there is an API somewhere that tells you all the bridges, just without their IP addresses.
Did that for mine, just can't remember the URL offhand.

Replace "NODENAME" above (actually it can match any field about a node). "type=bridge&" can be left out if you want to seach all nodes.
