Comment (by dcf): If what trdpi says is correct, that the firewall is breaking connections that are already partly underway, that could account for the seemingly increased number of users. Users are counted indirectly by [https://gitweb.torproject.org/metrics-web.git/tree/doc/users-q-and-a.txt counting directory requests]. Connections might be getting broken after a directory request is sent but before the connection becomes useful. This is just a guess. The OONI reports say that bootstrapping failed at 10%, which is where you make a directory request, but you can also get to 10% even with no connectivity, I believe. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/21014#comment:5> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
