* status: assigned => needs_review Comment: I have a fix in my [https://github.com/NullHypothesis/bridgedb/compare/develop...defect/30941?expand=1 defect/30941] branch. Here's what the code does: * Respond with obfs4 (or whatever is configured in `DEFAULT_TRANSPORT`) bridges if the user's request is invalid or empty. * Remove the help email (which you would previously get after sending an invalid request or a request that contains "get help") because we no longer need it. * Simplify the automatic response as discussed above in this ticket. * Make it clear that the email response is automatically generated as [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/30941#comment:16 cohosh suggested]. Here's what BridgeDB's new email response will look like: {{{ [This is an automated email. Please do not reply.] Here are your bridges: obfs4 1.1.1.1:1111 ... obfs4 2.2.2.2:2222 ... Add these bridges to your Tor Browser by opening your browser preferences, clicking on "Tor", and then adding them to the "Provide a bridge" field. If these bridges are not what you need, reply to this email with one of the following commands in the message body: get bridges (Request unobfuscated Tor bridges.) get ipv6 (Request IPv6 bridges.) get transport TYPE (Request obfuscated bridges. Replace TYPE with 'obfs4'.) get key (Get a copy of BridgeDB's public GnuPG key.) }}} Note that "get key" is still supported but we will get rid of this functionality in #17548. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/30941#comment:18> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
