If it blocks Tor bridges, we would like to probe that filter.Forgive my ignorance but if the filter is set to block site X why does it matter whether one is trying to access site X from a Tor IP or not from a Tor IP?
When the connection is sent through Tor the filter can't tell what is being accessed. All it can see is the encrypted communication between the Tor client and the entry guard. Which, in this is case, it appears to be blocking wholesale.
