Hello:
I hope you can help me. I'm having trouble keeping my bridge up. Ports are forwarded. Running latest version of Tor. I had it running for at least roughly 7 to 10 days and then it went down and keeping it up is trouble. I even setup dynamic dns on my router using no-ip.com to see if that would help and still no. I've pasted logs from this morning here. Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
These lines Toralf references come from the logs you sent. It looks like apparmor didn't want obfs4proxy to open some file. I'm not sure why obfs4proxy would care about this file, maybe it's something the go runtime likes to look at. It does not look fatal though.
Logs also says

It looks like your bridge isn't reachable from the internet. Have you checked if your firewall accepts incoming connections? If you are on an at home installation, have you checked if your router NAT is configured to forward that port properly. If you are on an at home installation too, is it possible you are behind a CG-NAT (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT)?
Sidenotes: these logs contains your bridge fingerprint and its ip address. These are informations you should never share publicly as it allows censors to block your bridge easily, while being hard to block is supposed to be the whole purpose of bridges.

Thank you for this. Is there any way around this? This didn't used to be problem.

Personally, I've had enough problems with apparmor doing this exact sort of thing that I just remove/purge it and mark it as on hold so that it doesn't reinstall.
Since apparmor is 'security' software, that may not be the best advice, but at the same time, I have a hard time trusting security software that has the power that apparmor has (and screws up other legit software so often).
Another option is to do a web search for your problem. Apparmor thinks it's just doing it's job blocking a dangerous file, but I'm sure there are changes you can make in apparmor to flag the file/program as safe/legit.
