| Jul 17, 2014 at 8:24 | comment | added | Roya | @JensKubieziel, Dear Jens, This question mainly talk to bridges, pluggable or otherwise, in comparison to regular guards in general. The point that bridges are not tested as severly as Guards, and bridges are used by relatively smaller number of clients than guards. Remmember anonymity is in numbers. The larger the number of client who use specific node, the lower the probability of identifying them uniquely given that all other parameters are equal. | |

| Feb 1, 2014 at 15:54 | comment | added | Roya | Dear Andrew, I understand that there is a trade off when designing such a complicated system, and I congratulate the Tor team for creating such an effective circumvention tool. All I am saying is that, in my humble opinion, it should be clearly stated that, Tor without bridges is a superior anonymity tool, and it should be a first priority before considering bridges or pluggable transport. | |
| Feb 1, 2014 at 15:10 | comment | added | Roya | On No. 3, I meant to say: 3. The bridges are generally of lower quality than Guard nodes; They are not tested for months before getting the role of the Guard nodes and so on. | |
| Feb 1, 2014 at 15:00 | comment | added | Roya | 1. The philosophy of existance of bridges and pluggable transport is circumvention and not anonymity. 2. The strict design criteria that is demanded out of Guard nodes are relaxed when it come to bridges, Pluggable or otherwise. 3. The bridges are not generally of lower quality than Guard nodes; They are not tested for months before getting the role of the Guard nodes and so on. | |
| Feb 1, 2014 at 14:44 | comment | added | Roya | Dear Andrew, Lets be clear, I am not proclaiming that bridges and pluggable transports hinder anonymity. However, there are some indications that points to this hypothesis. Let me list some of them numerically. | |
