meek blocked in China since 2016-10-19
https://bugs.torproject.org/20495 It looks like meek has been blocked in China since about 2016-10-19. (See the red line in the attached graph.) I didn't get any reports or anything; I just happened to check the graph. I tried but have not yet been able to reproduce any blocking by making HTTPS requests from a measurement location in China.

It looks like they finally figured it out. Any ideas on how this happened? Are there any efficient workarounds? -- Jesse

Some time has passed and this no longer looks like a block by China to me. For one thing, there was a simultaneous drop in many countries, not only China: https://bugs.torproject.org/20495#comment:5 And on November 10, there was a simultaneous increase to previous levels: https://bugs.torproject.org/20495#comment:7 I still don't know what might have happened, but it doesn't seem like a censorship block.

For what it’s worth it seems like OONI data also confirms that the domains used by meek for cloudfronting don’t appear to be blocked in China on 2016-11-07: http://explorer.ooni.torproject.org/measurement/20161107T012146Z_AS56047_LeH... http://explorer.ooni.torproject.org/measurement/20161107T012146Z_AS56047_LeH... Unfortunately we don’t have data from the 2016-10-19 period. ~ Arturo
