[liberationtech] Tor bridges blocked in Syria?

[KheOps]

Hello everyone,

I just saw that, and asked around via TelecomixSyria account for more info:

Dlshad is promoting the use of the obfsproxy-enabled version of Tor as a
consequence. However, I did not see if the blockade is based on the
public list of Tor relays IP addresses, or if it's Iran-style blockade
(detecting the Tor traffic).

If it is the second case, this may mean the regime has setup new
equipment for the blockade, which may have been done during that 3 days
blackout.

Does anyone have any more detail about this?
