#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.

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:

https://bridges.torproject.org/bridges?transport=webtunnel&ipv6=no

And no, removing IPv6 from the URL doesn't yield any IPv4 results either.
https://bridges.torproject.org/bridges?transport=webtunnel

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

@torproject same with #obfs4 bridges: there is no option to say like ports=80,443 or similar, which makes it cumbersome to get said bridges.

And trying to get places to #DontBlockTor that criminalize the use of #Tor is foolish at best.

I really need to dive into setting up webtunnel #TorBridges...
