I use obfs4 bridge when connecting to Tor. For some reason, i see only 2 real nodes in Nyx-Status monitor for Tor in sys-whonix.
Nodes:

  1. 192.168.0.1:0
  2. real node
  3. real node
    Why my bridge is replacing guard node for Tor? Arent they supposed to be just a vpn in a way that just connects you to a real guard node?

Tor bridges (“Tor bridge relays”) are alternative entry points to the Tor network, acting as substitutes to regular Tor guards rather than an additional hop to the 3 hop journey. Not all bridges are obtainable publicly. Using a bridge makes it harder, but not impossible, for the ISP to determine if a user is connecting to Tor.
