en-US/bridges.page 14) Bridges are quiet gateways into the Tor Network. Like Tor relays, they are run
en-US/bridges.page 15) by volunteers. Unlike relays, they are not listed publicly. Using bridges
en-US/bridges.page 16) disguise the fact that one is using Tor.

en-US/bridges.page 20) Currently there are five bridge types, or transports, available. More are
