According to globe and atlas, bridges have guard flags, while they actually don't have them at all...
What is the cause for this behavior? https://globe.thecthulhu.com/#/bridge/286FD249840142D1C7536C2D12FDBE5EA63AD9... https://atlas.thecthulhu.com/#details/286FD249840142D1C7536C2D12FDBE5EA63AD9... -- Contact: Irc, justaguy @ Freenode or OFTC OTR fingerprint: FF6D1AC2 13F38B15 EDB21522 D3530A6F 6EE01996

The bridge authority Tonga does assign the Guard flag to bridges. Here's the most recent status entry of that bridge: https://collector.torproject.org/recent/bridge-descriptors/statuses/ r ChandlerObfs9 KG/SSYQBQtHHU2wtEv2+XqY62RI CvvmidLiuH6dlS3by+j6NI3KtNw 2014-12-07 07:46:48 10.178.141.205 443 0 a [fd9f:2e19:3bcf::fb:6ded]:443 s Fast Guard Running Stable Valid w Bandwidth=554 p reject 1-65535 My guess is that Tonga assigns Guard flags because nobody cared to disable that. But nothing in the network uses Guard flags of bridges, so there's no real harm in having them. The only flags that BridgeDB pays attention to are Running and Stable, AFAIK. All the best, Karsten
