Hello,
Quoting Keifer Bly (2023-04-03 21:11:21)
So for my bridge at https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/4D6E3CA2110FC36D3106C86940A1D...
Despite my newest torrc, which is here:
Nickname gbridge ORPort 8080 SocksPort 0 BridgeRelay 1 PublishServerDescriptor bridge BridgeDistribution email ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy ServerTransportListenAddr obfs4 0.0.0.0:8081 ExtOrPort auto Log notice file /var/log/tor/notices.log ExitPolicy reject *:* AccountingMax 50 GB ContactInfo keiferdodderblyyatgmaildoddercom
It still says "Bridge Distribution Mechanism: None".
However, that's VERY confusing as it is listed in the torrc file to be distributed by email and apparently despite that it is not distributed, it is overloaded somehow?
This is confusing to me as why would it say no distribution mechanism when it is in the torrc as email, and how could it be overloaded if it's not being used?
It looks like rdsys thinks your bridge is not reachable and is not distributing it: https://bridges.torproject.org/status?id=4D6E3CA2110FC36D3106C86940A1D4C8C91...
I see you have configured obfs4 to use port 8081. Have you checked that there is not firewall or something blocking the connections there? Have you looked into the logs to see if there is any hint of the problem?
Thank you for running the bridge.
