-If you wish to tell a user to use your bridge, simply give them the IP
166
-address of the Tor node, the TCP port as configured by <tt>ORPort</tt> and the
167
-fingerprint of the server. The fingerprint should be in your Tor log files or
168

162
+Your bridge relay will automatically publish its address to the bridge
163
+authority, which will give it out via https or email as above. You can
164
+also tell a user about your bridge directly: if you're using Vidalia,
165
+you can copy-and-paste the bridge address from the Settings window. If
166
+you're on Linux or BSD, you can construct the bridge address manually
167
+using the <a href="#Understanding">format above</a> (you can find the
168
+fingerprint in your Tor log files or in <tt>/var/lib/tor/fingerprint</tt>
169
