[tor-relays] My web-bridges looks offline in the Relay Search

Hello!

Today all my web tunnel relays become offline according to https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#search/BrookRameev (my web tunnel bridges have the ‘W’ suffix). But they are surely online (except BrookRameev7W, which is surely dead). I see traffic on them, I see no problems in logs, nothing changed in their configuration. I also checked them using tor browser.

All of them “went down” at the same time: " 1 hour 17 minute and 48 seconds" from the current moment. The problem relates only to webtunnels, ordinal relays work normally.

Good luck.

is related to not exposing your ORPort (which is highly recommended). See these 2 tickets:

Can you please clarify what is recommended? To expose ORPort or not? At first from your quoted message I decided that it was mistake that I closed the port (by the way for closing the ORPort from outside and turning on IPv6 support I used the link WebTunnel/Docker: "Unable to find IPv6 address for ORPort" - #2 by atari with your (?) advice, thank you for it).

But after reading links from your message and thinking and little bit I got that it's good idea NOT to expose ORPort (even random one) to prevent blocking the relay by the goverment.

Best regards.
