When picking bridges (or other nodes without a consensus entry (and thus no bandwidth weights)) we shouldn't just trust the node's descriptor. So far we believed anything between 0 and 10MB/s, where 0 would mean that a node doesn't get any use from use unless it is our only one, and 10MB/s would be a quite siginficant weight. To make this situation better, we now believe weights in the range from 20kB/s to 100kB/s. This should allow new bridges to get use more quickly, and means that it will be harder for bridges to see almost all our traffic.
Tor protects your privacy on the internet by hiding the connection
between your Internet address and the services you use. We believe Tor
is reasonably secure, but please ensure you read the instructions and
configure it properly.
To build Tor from source:
./configure && make && make install
