Hello,
I have installed a bridge in December 2021. It has been running seamlessly - until recently. For the last week or so, when I check the status page, it says it is down. Yet, when I check on the server, it seems to be running fine (see output below). Is it an issue with the bridge checking mechanism or is there a real issue with my bridge? In other words, what information would I be looking for to ensure my bridge is up?

You could check with bridgestrap to test the bridge by visiting https://bridges.torproject.org/status?id=%5Bfingerprint]
There might be other options, I am not sure. I am not sure either how many anti-censorship folks are on this list. So, maybe asking on our forum[1] or the tor-relays@ mailing list[2] might give you even better answers.
Thanks, Georg
