Re: [tor-relays] Webtunnel type bridge Tor Metrics

["Dionysios K. via tor-relays" <tor-relays@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Hiro,

The issue was solved for a few hours, it was the first time since I switched to webtunnel I saw my bridge online, but now it's again marked as offline.

It's the same issue again.

If the bridge is working and receiving traffic, the reason why I can think it is marked as offline is that some of those tests is failing or we are failing to process the data correctly.

You could start your investigation by looking at the logs on the machine, then you could check what the bridgestrap stats say about your bridge (https://collector.torproject.org/recent/bridgestrap/) and finally check the latest status (https://collector.torproject.org/recent/bridge-descriptors/statuses/).
