The point of releasing the bridge addresses this way is to see how long
it takes to go from public publishing to blocking in the GFW.

: >Tor supports 3rd party http/https proxies
: could you kindly tell me how to use tor above 3rd party https/http proxies? what's the config?

There are two ways to do this, through Vidalia or editing your torrc.
In Vidalia, go to Settings, Network, and click "I use a proxy to access
the Internet", then enter your proxy details.

In torrc, see
