Or just give me the readers digest version, if it's not too much trouble ^^ I've actually never heard that before...I would like to Sociaux, believe me I would but several forum users who are gifted at IT jumped down my throat last time I started offering people a way to have a Private Bridge (in fairness this was using my own server rather than setting up your own which apparently is the best way). I am however in the process of writing a guide on how to set up your own private bridge.My understanding is that this will not allow anyone who is monitoring your internet traffic to know you're accessing Tor hidden services in the first place. I frankly admit I am still trying to master the fundamentals of private bridges but will let you know as soon as I do.If you're going to go to the effort of setting up your own remote server(s) then you may as well go the whole hog and run your own VPN. The only reason to use a bridge instead of a VPN is if you live somewhere that bans such communication (e.g. Iran, China, North Korea, etc.). VPN traffic will blend into the background since there are so many corporate VPNs, government VPNs and people using them just to bypass geolocation filters.To go the VPN route all that is needed is a VPS running the OS of your choice and OpenVPN. There are even Android and iOS clients for it.
