Hello,
The network that I'm using is blocking access to bridges.torproject.org thus I cannot access the bridges website.
Looking for another mirror didn't yield any result and using search engines caches didn't work either (got weird HTTP errors). I know that you can send an email and receive an email response back with a list of bridges but you need to send and email and from a specific email address.
I suppose many people (as I would) will find a bridges website very useful and I was thinking to run a mirror of bridges.torproject.org . Given that this is acceptable what are the requirements for creating and managing a bridges.torproject.org mirror? Are there any instructions for setting up such a mirror?
Hi Vasilis,
Unfortunately, this is not currently possible. The BridgeDB architecture is not designed in a way that allows for somethign like this. Hopefully, when the new Anti-Censorship team is created and starts working on this, they can find a way that allows for something like this.
In the mean time, retrieving new bridges using Tor Browser's Moat feature is the easiest alternative ("Request a bridge from torproject.org").
