The easiest way to run an obfs3 bridge is to spin up an Amazon EC2
instance from https://cloud.torproject.org/. The instance will
automatically be a normal bridge, an obfs2 bridge, and an obfs3
bridge. The bridge will announce itself to the bridge database, so you
don't have to email us with the IP and port. The best part is that it
will cost you less than $30 per month!
