@torproject Q: I wish there was a similar tool test #Bridges, as bridges.torproject.org/scan/ is not that good and I don't want to hammer it with dozens of addresses, cuz at best that's quite antisocial if not possibly trigger responses assuming this is an intelligence gathering operation.

  • Ideally sone standalone binary that one can just give a list of #TorBridge|s in a text file (similar to the way one can just past them in at #TorBrowser) would help.

I.e.

bridgetest -v4 obfs4 203.0.113.0:80 …

bridgetest -v6 webtunnel [2001:DB8::1]:443 …

bridgetest -list ./tor.bridges.list.private.tsv
  • But maybe #onionprobe already does that. In that case please tell me to "#RTFM!"

Similarly there needs to be a more granular way to request #TorBridges from #BridgeDB (as it's basically impossible to get #IPv4 #Webtunnel addresses nor is there an option to filter for #ports like :80 & :443 to deal with restrictive #firewalls (i.e. on public #WiFi)…

  • there are flags like ipv6=yes but neither ipv4=yes nor ipv6=no yielded me other resultd than #IPv6 webtunnel bridges…

And before anyone asks: Yes, I do have a "legitimate purpose" as some of my contacts do need Bridges to get beyond a mandatory firewall and/or do use #TorBrowser (through an #SSH tunnel) to circumvent Tor & #VPN blocks and maintain privacy (as many companies do block sometimes entire #Hosters' ASNs due to rampant #scrapers

@tails_live @tails @torproject plus support for meek, snowflake, webtunnel and non-#obfs4 #Bridges seems missing in #Tails.

Cuz to this day I've to yet see an IPv4-#webtunnel #bridge

Right now the problem with @torproject #BridgeDB is that I can't get #webtunnel bridges on #IPv4 even when I try to specify those by setting ipv6=no at the URL:

bridges.torproject.org/bridges

And no, removing IPv6 from the URL doesn't yield any IPv4 results either.
bridges.torproject.org/bridges

It would be better if #BridgeDB would have a radio button / switch to choose IPv4 & #IPv6 for this reason.

#WhatsMissing: A tool to check if #TorBridges are still available/online/reachable that one can use either #standalone (with #TorBrowser and/or #Tor Expert Bundle) or on @tails_live / @tails / #Tails.

  • Cuz I do run into issues and kinda want to sort #Bridges by availability so I don't waste time on a #TorBridge that is down and also thin-out the list of bridges that ain't online anymore.

Whilst I do acknowledge that @torproject do disrecommend having a huge list of Tor Bridges on hand, I do regularly need them for contacts who are behind a #GreatFirewall and can't #SSH-Tunnel out of it.

Espechally being able to filter for #IPv4only and not just #IPv6only is something I miss, alongside the filter for #PluggableTransports type as @guardianproject #Orbot seems to only handle #obfs4 and not webtunnel or #meek at all...

  • I'm pretty certain that merely pinging a bridge at it's port isn't working as a shure-fire way to check for it's availability.

Recently we upgraded our #Tor #obfs4 bridge relay from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04. Unfortunately we missed a permissions issue with obfs4 that changed with the upgrade. This kept Tor in a restart loop and prevented anyone from using the bridges. This has been corrected.

This were the errors:

[warn] Server managed proxy encountered a method error. (obfs4 listen tcp 23.129.64.90:443: bind: permission denied)

[warn] Managed proxy '/usr/bin/obfs4proxy' was spawned successfully, but it didn't launch any pluggable transport listeners!

We also have a #WebTunnel bridge that was not affected since it's on the disobey.net server.

@ActuallyAubrey That depends on the juristiction in question, the plan & provider in question as well as used hardware in question.

  • In case of even remotely suspected #Stalkerware I do recommend to get personally-owned, controlled, secured and hidden hardware to enable unsurveiled comms.

Consider telephony & SMS inherently & unfixably insecure.

  • If in doubt get a new Android with an anonymous prepaid SIM that has affordable data options and use @torproject / #TorBrowser and #Orbot with #TorBridges on ports 80 & 443 which use #meek & #webtunnel transports, so any surveiling party will only see non-suspicious HTTPS traffic.

OFC a maliciously configured CPE/Router can log & report all pachets that travel through, but #DNS & #HTTP or any unencrypted comms are susceptible.

2024年3月。#Tor 团队正式发布 #WebTunnel 网桥。

3月12日是“世界反对网络审查日”。Tor 团队在这一天正式发布 WebTunnel 网桥。这种网桥特别针对那些网络审查非常严厉的地区(肯定包括中国)。WebTunnel 网桥让你的 Tor 流量看上去像是普通的 https 流量,更不容易被识别和封锁。

使用 WebTunnel 网桥的步骤:

1. 使用普通浏览器访问 bridges.torproject.org/options 在“Advanced Options”部分的下拉菜单里选择 WebTunnel,然后点击“Get Bridges”,填写一串验证码之后,就能得到一个 WebTunnel 地址。

2. Tor 浏览器桌面版添加网桥的位置是:【设置】→【连接】→【网桥】→【添加新网桥】→【手动添加网桥】。复制前面得到的网桥地址,把它完整地粘贴在这里,点击“确认”即可。

3. Tor 浏览器 Android 版添加网桥的位置是:齿轮图标→【设定网桥中继】→【手动输入一个网桥中继地址】。在弹出的窗口里,粘贴上面的网桥地址即可。

@torproject And yes, I do need some with the ability to filter as contacts in #Russia that want to #flee basically have no other option than #Tor as #Roskomnadnozr systematically bricks #VPN's and #Proxies and only allows like #Webtunnel and #SSH connections [the latter one propably for Russia's #CyberWarfare] to pass through.

So even if they had like #GMail or #RiseUp that wouldn't fix their issues nor would it solve that need.

Continued thread

So please @torproject allow people - if you don't want to change the UI for bridges.torproject.org - to at least craft requests that allow users to select #IPv4 and/or #IPv6 #Bridges as well as #Transports [regardless inf #vanilla, #meek, #snowflake, #obfs4 or #webtunnel] and #ports [i.e. 443 & 80] are often the only known working ones!

There are several issues I have with @torproject 's #BridgeDB:

For once, it's good and convenient but it's filtering options are half broken.

For example bridges.torproject.org/bridges will get me a #Webtunnel #TorBridge that has #IPv6, but setting ipv6=no or ipv4=yes doesn't work.

Nor can I add ports=80,443 or port=443&port=80 or similar.

So it would be really cool if one could just query stuff like that [OFC I'm not talking about the CAPTCA, that exist for reasons]...
