Hi,
I’ve been running a bridge for over a year and noticed recently that the fingerprint shown in ARM (and that actually works when connecting to the bridge) differs from the fingerprint displayed for my bridge on both Atlas and Globe. Any thoughts on why this would happen and how to fix it? I’m assuming the fingerprint published on Atlas & Globe is the same fingerprint that will be distributed by bridges.torproject, is that correct?
arm displays your bridge's fingerprint, which is also distributed by bridges.torproject.org.
Atlas and Globe show your bridge's *hashed* fingerprint. The reason that they're not showing the (non-hashed) fingerprint is that anyone could ask the bridge authority for your bridge's current descriptor if they had its (non-hashed) fingerprint, and that would reveal your bridge's IP address. That's why Atlas and Globe hash your fingerprint.
Apologies if this is a common question… I’ve only recently joined the mailing list and couldn’t find a way to search the archives other than browsing.
It's a valid question. If you have any ideas how to explain it better on Atlas or Globe, please open a ticket. Thanks!
All the best, Karsten
