Comment (by cypherpunks):

 > So I think the block is part of the block of Skype. Tor is
 (mis)identified as a way to do VOIP and so is choked, not blocked.

 Tor is choked for TLS sessions with public relays. TLS connections to
 randomly scanned private bridges is not limited. TLS protocol (non tor
 specific) is detected by content of segments. Except some destination
 ports like 443, which is probably always choked.
