How could they be blocked if they work fine in TBB? Literally take any bridge from https://bridges.torproject.org/bridges, plug it into TBB (under control panel in TBB options), it should connect fine.
Now take the same bridge address, boot into tails greeter, yes to 'more options', 'connect via proxy', 'ok', then when you boot it will pop up a window asking you how you want to connect, connect via bridge, it will give you a box to input bridges into, put it in and click connect. Nothing happens, it just blinks once and sits there, you can back out of it and try to go back through but if you want to connect directly to tor instead you have to reboot. Put in a list of bridges just in case, still nothing, for months. -------- Original Message -------- From: Soul Plane <[email protected]> Apparently from: [email protected] To: User support for Tails <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Tails-support] Bridgemode does NOT work, nor has it since 0.7 Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2014 14:15:06 -0400 > On Tue, Aug 12, 2014 at 2:05 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Bridge mode has been broken since 0.7.
