I do other things besides maintain a bridge on this machine; I've set a half-hr timeout so that I can shut down when necessary & then restart before the bridge goes down. I thought this would make it easier on the network & the people using the bridge. >> When for some reason I have to press "Stop Tor" and get the message >> "Would you like to shut down gracefully and give clients time to find a >> new relay?" along with the red onion icon, what exactly does >> this mean? > > It signals your node to stop accepting new connections, and not > renew existing ones when they end.

I think I understand you to mean that the clients (nodes) are talking code to each other, and the actual users don't even notice that the bridge is gone & they're on a new path. Is this correct? >> The icon seems to sit there forever I exaggerated; I guess I've been too busy (aka too damned impatient) to wait more than 30 minutes...
