[tor-relays] Bridge Distribution Mechanism none

[Ross Camm]

 I have no error from Apparmor and I dont believe obfs4 proxy is the issue as I have obfs4 installed and confirmed running
 
dpkg -l | grep obfs4
ii obfs4proxy 0.0.7-4
 
ps ax | grep obfs4
5501 ? Sl 0:01 /usr/bin/obfs4proxy
 
netstat -nap | grep obfs4
tcp 0 0 X.X.X.X:12345 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 5501/obfs4proxy
 
Tor logs

ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy

What am I missing ?
 
Thanks again
