> OONI has a test that would tell us which, if any, of the directory
authorities are blocked. Unfortunately, there are not very many results
from the UAE. Only 27 since September 2017, and only 1 so far this year.

or phone. The only tests you have to run are vanilla_tor and
tor_bridge_reachability (might be called tcp_connect, I'm not sure how it
appears in the interface). I can't promise to analyze the results soon,
but they may turn out to be handy to have.

I downloaded the ooni installation packages and installed, then it said,
'Warning. ooni might be illegal in your country. You could be jailed,
fined, and beaten. Do you understand all the risks? Type "yes"
At that point, given the laws here, I hit ^C
This place has lots of laws against things like Tor, but the nice thing
about Tor is it's hard for them to know I'm using it. ooni warns that
there are many ways they can tell I'm using it, and I got scared. It said
repressive places can use the ooni published data to track down users.
