According to metrics.torproject.org, it’s been running at about 15 connected clients with a sudden spike between about 2020-04 and 2020-09 (up to 60 for a while), then again 2021-12 and 2022-02 up to about 40, whereupon it sank down to about 10 per day and falling.
Is this latest collapse a Russian thing? I see it says it’s blocked in RU. Should I try tweaking the config? I can’t change the IP address, unfortunately.
Perhaps your bridge was assigned to moat or other bridgeDB distributor back then, but after rdsys deployment on February, maybe it’s using a not-so popular distributor?
Ah - thanks! There does seem to be a bit of a correlation between the distribution method rate and the popularity of my bridge, although I think the RU blocking may have had more of an effect overall.
In general though, I suppose if I changed to moat that would reduce the pool of https bridges, so maybe I better not for diversity’s sake?
