Over the last week or so my bridge usage has been zero, whereas previously it would show clients for at least a few and usually many countries. The only exception is China, which comes up well within an hour of enabling the bridge. Usually the usage display stops at 1-8, but sometimes it shows continuing Chinese use. The bandwidth graph sometimes shows high, but not extraordinary, traffic. Usually it's quiet, and there's been no filling-up of the bandwidth.
At a machine running through a different ISP, I logged on as a client looking to use my bridge address. As expected, when I got home I saw that the bridge usage registered USA 1-8 as well as the usual China 1-x. From this experiment I gather at least that my setup is working fine.
So I'm wondering if the Chinese client(s) is/are inhibiting other contacts, and if so, if this apparent locking onto China is a network glitch or intentional interference. As the first step I thought I'd ask here: Has anyone else noticed an apparent locking of China (or some other country) in your usage panel? - Thanks, eli
