new OBFS4 bridges with bridge distribution method "None" since a couple of days

Dear experts, according to the documentation, a new obfs4 bridge should get a bridge distribution method assigned after running a day. The two bridges listed below are running since more than a week and both still show "none" as bridge distribution method. (Probably due to that, they even don't get up to speed) Attempting to manually set the method in torrc does not change the situation... https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/76ADDDFD1C70D60BE6F524B111A3A... https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/4FB2FA7B6678169B609B771F240B6... Thanks in advance for any advice. C. -- Sent with https://mailfence.com Secure and private email

We have a bug in rdsys where it stops accepting new bridges (and testing old ones) until a restart: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/rdsys/-/issues/249 The first week of July most tor developers were AFK as we had a mid-year break, sorry it took some time for us to notice the problem. We are working on fixing it. In the mean time we are watching closely our alerts to restart rdsys if this happen. I see that now one of your bridges have a distributor (HTTPS) but another is still on None, it seems to be offline: https://bridges.torproject.org/status?id=4FB2FA7B6678169B609B771F240B60D98FC... Can it be a problem on your side? Thank you for keeping an eye to it. -- meskio | https://meskio.net/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- My contact info: https://meskio.net/crypto.txt -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Nos vamos a Croatan.
