Hello,
I’ve been using Arti for almost a year with lyrebird (snowflake protocol) and it worked well.
Starting from the last weekend (around 2026-06-06) new blockings took place in Russia and I’m no longer able to connect the same way. However, I still can with the C Tor, both snowflake and obfs4 protocols work.
The configs I used for the snowflake bridges:
- torrc from the
snowflakerepo pt_config.jsonfrom the Tor expert bundle
They are similar, but have different fronts/stun domains. Both of them work with the C Tor, but not with Arti. Arti manages to bootstrap, pulls the dir.sqlite3 and fills the dir_blobs directory, but fails to connect.
