Re: [tor-relays] We need bridges with iat-mode set to 1 and especially 2 as well!



Hi,

This look very serious. Can you share more information? There are many
HRD organizations from Iran that we can contact to follow up this case.

From where you get the advice that using bridges 'iat-mode=2' will
protect you? Can you link here?
