I have 4 tor bridge, A B C D
yesterday, I just found that China GFW block my tor bridge A IP address, I don’t know why I got blocked, I just guess is China GFW detected my tor bridge?so I use ssh, login to tor bridge A system, I use nyx to check, I’ve see that, there have many data go through my bridge , total around 1.2TB,
tor bridge A blocked by GFW, is this because too many data through my tor bridge transfer, bring GFW to attention ?
Bridge B, C, D is safe, IP didn’t get blocked
Both A, B, C, D config file is the same
here is the A, B, C, D config file:

Nickname torbridgeA
when I go to tor relay search, and search my bridge, I’ve see that, tor bridge A, online already 3months, and other 3 bridges B, C, D, they will offline for while, bridge A, It’s almost like when I started tor and it just keeps going online.
bridge B,C,D have down time, just like:
Downtime
1 hour 23 minute and 1 second
Last Seen
2022-11-26 14:43:05
but bridge A only have uptime, it didn’t get down, because it always online:
Uptime
95 days 3 hours 44 minutes and 34 seconds
again, bridge A,B,C,D config file is the same
in tor relay search result, bridge A Bridge distribution mechanism it show Moat
bridge B,C,D Bridge distribution mechanism is none
I don’t understand is :
why 4 bridge config file is the same, one bridge (A) always online and Bridge distribution mechanism show Moat,
but B,C,D they will go offline, and the Bridge distribution mechanism is none?
both A,B,C,D tor bridge can use normally
