I sent my Tor Bridge directly to the Secretariate at Prince Reza Pahlavis office. I didn't get any hate mail back, so I guess we're good. The bridge started getting traffic right away.

I don't necesarilly support a return to Monarchy, but I new for sure that it wouldn't fall into the wrong hands, since he has thousands of contacts in Iran.

At night I keep a Tor relay open on my other computer with lots of exits open. By morning there is a steady stream eating up about 70% of my bandwidth.

You DO NOT need to have Tor Enabled in Firefox. That button is for
people currently using Tor to stay anonymous while browsing in
Firefox. If you are only running a bridge or a relay you just need to
have Vidalia running in your taskbar.

So I guess my Tor has been running. And from what I understand the "Relay traffic for the Tor network" and the "Help censored users reach the Tor network" can only be run exclusively. I only want to put it on the latter setting, I believe. I'm not sure what the former does. Here's the thing" When I have Tor "Enabled" with the firefox button, it freezes my browsing. Perhaps Tor is still working for my bandwidth donation or filtering bypass for others whether the switch is on or off , but again when on and green, it disallows any further internet navigation. Is that normal???

Sorry, I tried replying to you from my phone while I was moving but
apparently it didn't go through. Here it is again.

The way Tor is setup it's pretty much impossible to limit it to just
Iranians. The Tor enabled/disabled option in the corner of Firefox is
just for people actually using Tor to get around filters. To share
your internet with people who need it you simply set Vidalia to share
your connection with Tor users as described above.

Guys: I have downloaded Tor and have my "disable"/"enable" button. But how do I make sure I am allowing this for Iranians only?? + While Tor is enabled under "sharing," is this enough? Am I not able to browse while it is working as a bridge?
