Comment (by cohosh):

 Since this project is in many ways similar to bridgedb, here's the
 bridgedb help message for reference:

 {{{

 Hey, cohosh! Welcome to BridgeDB!



 COMMANDs: (combine COMMANDs to specify multiple options simultaneously)
   get help               Displays this message.
   get bridges            Request vanilla bridges.
   get ipv6               Request IPv6 bridges.
   get transport [TYPE]   Request a Pluggable Transport by TYPE.
   get key                Get a copy of BridgeDB's public GnuPG key.

 Currently supported transport TYPEs:
   obfs4


 BridgeDB can provide bridges with several types of Pluggable
 Transports[0],
 which can help obfuscate your connections to the Tor Network, making it
 more
 difficult for anyone watching your internet traffic to determine that you
 are
 using Tor.

 Some bridges with IPv6 addresses are also available, though some Pluggable
 Transports aren't IPv6 compatible.

 Additionally, BridgeDB has plenty of plain-ol'-vanilla bridges - without
 any
 Pluggable Transports - which maybe doesn't sound as cool, but they can
 still
 help to circumvent internet censorship in many cases.
