Hi,
I'm not able to connect via bridges (obfs4 in particular) without first
disabling bridges and connecting directly to the tor network. This is odd.
Every time I turn on my laptop and start the tor browser bundle, it fails
establishing a route. Setting a new bridge does not help either. But when I
disable bridges and connect directly, then I can re enable the same bridges
that used to fail and it will connect. Once I restart the tor browser, I
can surely confirm that the connection is established via the bridge that
used to fail, by looking at the active tcp connections.
This is making Tails impossible to work with bridges. Since Tails requires
bridges to be set at logon time, it fails creating a route unless bridges
are disabled and in that case it won't let re-enabling them.
What are your thoughts on this?
Could this be a security threat?
Is the government responsible for this?
I live in Iran should you want to know.
