 Greetings,

 In Turkey as you know there are lots of internet censorship and im fearing
 that this censorship could go way much worse just like russia and china.

 About 2-3 years ago Turkey government blocked tor, by that i mean tor
 relays and torproject.org website.

 So im trying to get along with it by using bridges.

 The problem is, both torproject.org and its subdomain
 bridges.torproject.org is censored as well-in all Turkey's ISP's.
 Currently i can only access via vpn-but also in tails its really hard to
 access bridges as well.(one time i had to manually input bridges plus
 certs doh!)

 My search on mirrors of bridges.torproject.org gave no results, and i cant
 find any problem solving answers here as well unfortunately.

 And yes there are other ways to get bridges by mail, but those mail
 adresses-gmail,yahoo and riseup could be censored as well. So we need a
 solution about that too.

 So my problem/ suggestion is to put a mirror site-other than
 torproject.org on your web page,and maybe put some sync'ing bridges in
 tails ( i mean with a script, bridges info could be pulled -from clearnet
 :( i know right-and put in torrc file)

 Sorry i dont have enough tech info about this,im just throwing the ideas i
 have.

 This censorship of ours could be gotten worse-in anytime so please help
 us!
