Hi folks,

It looks like two of the default obfs3 bridges in Tor Browser have been broken for a while -- maybe for many months. I only noticed by accident today.

I was about to open a ticket for the Tor Browser team to automate checking them, so they can proactively notice and fix things if they break.

But then I thought, hey, OONI should be doing that testing from all over the world, right?

There are these tickets from the past: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/12544 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6414

There's also this recent ticket for reachability-only testing of default bridges: https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-probe/issues/652
