| Jun 15, 2020 at 14:24 | comment | added | Steve | The bridge will act as an entry node for circuits as well as for getting directory documents. Tor clients rarely (if ever) connect to directory authorities, instead they download their documents from directory caches, which are just regular relays. Essentially every connection that the client makes will be through this bridge relay. | |

| Jun 15, 2020 at 14:13 | comment | added | skns | Will the bridge then act as Entry node? | |
