Bridge mode has been broken since 0.7. I have confirmed this multiple times over the course of months by taking a bridge from Tor's BridgeDB, entering it into TBB on windows and connecting to said bridge, then loading tails greeter (*or at boot prompt pre-greeter), more options, connect via bridge, inputting said bridge, no connection to network, it dies at that point and the only way to connect to tor is a full reboot.
Everytime i have reported this as a bug over the course of these past 5 months it has been ignored, and any mention of it on support groups like the old tails forum, reddit, and now here is always responded with the random person saying everything works fine for them. This is a verifiable bug that is being ignored, along with the fact that we are not allowed to specify guard nodes due to the developers preoccupation with shoving its users through a lengthy and painful manual update process so that we can have a flashier UI. Even if the developers dont care enough about providing a secure solution (as evident by the going-on 2-week 0-day i2p bug that was patched by i2p devs days after its release), they need to acknowledge this on their site that Bridgemode does not work and that users in censored countries are at risk using tails. _______________________________________________ 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].
