Hi, very happy to see release 1.0, pretty neat!
I want to raise the "ISP censored connections" use case, which is as i see it, a kind of chicken-and-egg problem. I'm based in China, Tor is blocked, ISP censors connection to https://bridges.torproject.org. When I boot Tails, I have to follow the specific path which lead to setup Tor bridges. The first problem here is to get the bridges. As I said above, https://bridges.torproject.org is blocked, so you need another anonymised/secured connection to have access to obf3 bridges. If you can get them, then fine, Tor boots and everything run pretty smoothly. I think it's acceptable to go through this problem once, but bridges ought to be persistent on reboot, because it's such a hassle to have access to them in an internet censored country. I don't think it'd sacrifice anonymity to keep this info persistent, since anyways, https://bridges.torproject.org is publicly accessible. What do you think? PS: As a side question, I've always wondered how obfs3 bridges, which work very well in China, haven't been all discovered and blocked by the Chinese government already?? It doesn't take many man hours to keep interogating https://bridges.torproject.org until you get them all, or what? _______________________________________________ tails-support mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-support To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to [email protected].
