That means there are a lot more snowflakes than obfs bridges which makes them a lot harder to block. Almost everyone can run a snowflake and help. There is no technical challenge or many requirements for that. Everyone can just install them as a browser extension and forget about them. When a bridge ends up on the blocklist of say the great firewall of China there is nothing you can do about it and the longer you run a bridge the more likely that is to happen. Additionally obfs4 bridges are burnt once they are discovered. Few people want to do that or even have the possibility at all. ![]() You also have to set up port forwarding and maintain the bridge. To run a bridge you need a static IP address and a system that is running 24/7. That makes them stable and reliable in terms of uptime, but it has two major downsides: There are relatively few of them. Obfs bridges are hidden Tor relays with a static, non changing IP address that are running 24/7. ![]()
