+<hr />

+

+<p>

+If you're a server operator, it's possible that you'd like to run a bridge 

+node. Below is a minimal <tt>torrc</tt> configuration that allows for bridged 

+entry into the Tor network:

+

+<pre>

+SocksPort 0

+Nickname BridgeExample

+ORPort 443

+BridgeRelay 1

+PublishServerDescriptor bridge

+Exitpolicy reject *:*

+</pre>

+

+When configured as a bridge, your server will <b>not</b> appear in the public

+Tor network.

+

+If you wish to tell a user to use your bridge, simply give them the IP

+adddress of the Tor node, the TCP port as configured by <tt>ORPort</tt> and the

+fingerprint of the server. The fingerprint should be in your Tor log files or

+in <tt>/var/lib/tor/fingerprint</tt> depending on your platform.

+

+If you would like to learn more about Bridges from a technical standpoint,

+please read the <a

+href="https://tor-svn.freehaven.net/svn/tor/trunk/doc/spec/bridges-spec.txt">Tor

+bridges specification</a>. If you're interested in running a private bridge or

+other specific uses, please do read the specification.
