Iran blocked Tor by protocol fingerprint earlier today. Fortunately, the
fix is on the relay side -- so once enough relays and bridges upgrade,
the many tens of thousands of users in Iran will resume being able to
reach the Tor network:

For all those people who enjoy building their Tor relay or bridge from
tarballs or from git, please upgrade. We'll have 0.2.2.33 tarballs out
later tonight I hope, and packages (including debs) following that.

Thanks!
