> On Sat 24 Feb 18, at about 4 pm GMT, Snowflake flaked out in the UAE.
Working fine at 3:30 pm GMT, unable to connect at 4 pm. Meek still works.
I have not tried bridges from bridges.torproject.org. I downloaded 3, but
always try the menu items first. obfs4 is now blocked, and snowflake seems
to be blocked, but Meek works. If Meek stops, I'll try the private
bridges.
Are you really sure that Snowflake is blocked? Some notes however: 1)
snowflake is still experimental, and there's a bug with it where it
reaches 100% CPU usage and , that may lead in some cases to it stopping
working, 2) there is still a very low number of people who run snowflake
bridges, 3) since snowflake is essentially WebRTC maybe they're actually
blocking as well other WebRTC traffic? 4) can you access the snowflake
domain front, i.e. www.google.com?
