Comment(by pde):

 It is normal for browsers with HTTPS Everywhere to connect to www.eff.org
 (which is currently web6.eff.org) on a daily/weekly basis to check for
 updates to the extension.  I think we had some outages in the last week,
 which might explain a number of failed connections, but the number
 succeeding should be _much_ larger than the number failing.

 observatory.eff.org/observatory5.eff.org connections should also be common
 for users who have enabled the [https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/02
 /https-everywhere-decentralized-ssl-observatory Decentralized SSL
 Observatory].  I don't know why any of those connections should be
 refused.

 Is there any way that you can compare to the number of successful
 connections to those hosts?
