Following the rebuild, the bridges appear to start correctly, according to both the logs and https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#search/OhNoAnotherBridge. However attempting to connect via the tor browser from my home system just hangs.
The ports on the VPS are open. I can see an ESTABLISHED connection from home, but the browser just hangs throwing out this: [WARN] Proxy Client: unable to connect to aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:443 ("general SOCKS server failure")
Not sure what to check next.
It looks like the "vanilla ORPort" part of your bridge works (I just bootstrapped my Tor through it to confirm), but your obfs4 port is busted somehow: https://bridges.torproject.org/status?id=8BBAB62EA65E47CDF204E3D795DAD12E504... https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2021-January/019221.html
I wonder if, when you restored things, you also restored the obfs4 keys?
It looks like OhNoAnotherBridge80 is doing better? https://bridges.torproject.org/status?id=B080140DC1BAB5B86D1CE5A4CA2EF64F202...
