 > The bridge operator can also set AssumeReachable 1 in her torrc config
 file, and then firewall the port, and I bet that would work, but it isn't
 the sort of thing every bridge operator will be able to do.

 I've tried that in my bridge, but it couldn't publish its descriptor.
 Maybe if the firewall makes an exception for the DirAuths (and any other
 needed host) it will work?
