It's a dedicated box with a static IP, so I know for sure it's the same
one. But TorCloud for a {private,whatever} bridge sounds like a good idea!

Indeed.. as I take it, obfsproxy (some or other) pluggable protocols seem

case, the situation is, as I understand, more or less how I expected it to
be. Thank you!
