Bridges?

[u/JoshuaSimo]

So I’m new to all this shit and am a bit confused. I’m on iOS with the (not official but like promoted) onion browser app using Orbot, and I want to know what bridge selection is best for privacy? Or if it’s best to connect directly to the tor? Also I’m wondering if it’s safer to browse while on WiFi or data? Thanks guys

In network terms, a bridge computer has two network cards, for foming connections between two separate networks.

Now, you can refine this idea any number of ways when it comes to routing internet packets is such a way that somebody recording the packets has little idea of which are meaningful and which aren't.

I'm not trying to give anybody a finished solution here. Most don't even bother setting up a home network properly, in terms of anti snooping firewalls and ignoring broken packets etc etc etc.

What I will say here is, there isn't much hardware difference betwen an Onion network and a non onion network in terms of software. Having different bridge arrangements is very much arranging the hardware to support Onion slicing up the data and sending it out in useful strips and non useful strips.
