Comment (by dcf): Replying to [comment:32 mwolfe]: > Today, I got Tor 8.a3 and it worked without any bridges. I wasn't sure if the UAE stopped blocking Tor, or if 8.a3 fixed the problem, so I tried one of my old Tor 7.a and it could not load the network without meek, while 8.a3 can load without any bridges. Hmm, maybe it has to do with the new directory authority bastet, which got added in Tor Browser 7.0.10 (2017-11-14) and 7.5a8 (2017-11-15), and had an IPv6 address added in Tor Browser 7.0.11 and 7.5a9 (2017-12-09). The existing directory authority Longclaw also changed its IP address in Tor Browser 7.0.10/7.5a8. If the censors are only blocking directory authorities, such a change may have caught them off guard. If it's not that, I'm not sure what it could be. I just added entries related to the above to the metrics timeline: [[doc/MetricsTimeline?action=diff&version=239&old_version=237]] -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/25137#comment:33> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
