 Replying to [comment:1 dcf]:
 > You can work around it by using the alternative domain fronts from
 #22782.
 Small tutorial on how to do that in case you don't know: (although someone
 should confirm if I didn't make any mistake)

 1. Go to your Tor Browser directory. Then go the folder `Browser` then
 `TorBrowser` then `Data` then `Tor`.
 2. Open the `torrc-defaults` using a text editor and change the snowflake
 line from
 {{{
 ClientTransportPlugin snowflake exec ./TorBrowser/Tor/PluggableTransports
 /snowflake-client -url https://snowflake-reg-test.appspot.com/ -front
 www.google.com -ice stun:stun.l.google.com:19302
 }}}
 to
 {{{
 ClientTransportPlugin snowflake exec ./TorBrowser/Tor/PluggableTransports
 /snowflake-client -url https://d3prdmp6d0elsl.cloudfront.net/ -front
 a0.awsstatic.com -ice stun:stun.l.google.com:19302
 }}}
 3. Save, and enjoy!

 ------

 Also by obfs4 you mean you got them from the BridgeDB or you used the
 default ones (in the dropdown menu when they ask which pluggable transport
 to use)?
