The distribution of bridge addresses is being handled through trusted sources. Do not give bridges to just anyone who asks for them. Any bridge posted publicly is potentially compromised.

I am writing you from Iran.
Thanks for giving me the possibility to answer you in this particular sensitive case!

At first I would recommend you to establish a secure connection like https:// … Secure Mail and connection, because this letter – sent by “simple” http:// … – could be hacked and opened by anyone and any government that you can imagine.

Secondly, we are not able – at the present time and since several weeks – to click and get to any Website concerning Tor, TorProject and Tor Bridges et cetera!

It would be useful to send us directly (to our e-mails) the new, most recent and almost “unknown” Tor Bridges in order to set Tor in motion, activate Tor Anonymizer and its Vidalia-Bundle programme.

I’ve been using the well-tried and stable Tor/Vidalia-Bundle connection since four years without any problem until the last weeks, as Tor and Google established a special site for Tor in connection with filtering in Iran. The iranian government then acquired knowledge about Tor and its potential and abilities.

Now iranian government blocked Tor Websites. Tor Bridges are unreachable for us, unless we get them via https:// … on e.g. Gmail or Yahoo Mail.

I would appreciate it, if you could send us Tor Bridges containing IP No./Port/Fingerprint as following:

65.38.17.23:443 444c7f993fc52fe31c139ea98b4526cd425574db

91.143.81.140:443 aac8e94cfeac563dc56fbe52b544d363f5f87e2d

78.51.24.120:443 4f7ca9413130d60e1bf488613eebdff54decf490

Thanks for your efforts in advance.

Kind Regards
Emiliano ZAPATA
