 on our blog.

 1. We need to understand if this affects all bridge types, or if it is
 limited to obfs4.
 2. In parallel, we should test if the TCP port of all of our obfs4 bridges
 is reachable. For those that aren't, we should contact the operator, or,
 as a last resort, remove them from BridgeDB.
 3. Make it easier for bridge operators to test if their obfs4 port is
 reachable.  #30472 will help with this.

 I'll try to make progress with this in the coming days.
