Comment (by cda):

 > My impression is that vanilla bridges worked great. His theory is that
 it is simple blocking by IP:port.

 Thanks, that is correct. As long as the bridge offers directory data to
 the client, it should work after. I did nothing more than visit
 bridges.tpo for a generic (non-PT) bridge, and was able to connect without
 interference.
