Hi. We are considering allowing users to run their daemon (optionally)
as a bridge in addition to client mode for increased traffic
fingerprinting resistance [1].

Does running a bridge prevent you from using a bridge yourself? I've
seen it mentioned that using bridges can protect users in event of a
malicious guard node. Can the benefits of being a bridge and connecting
to one be stacked? What is the best practice here?

Happy New Year.
