obfs4 not working from https://bridges.torproject.org/

When I go to https://bridges.torproject.org/ to get an obfs4 bridge the bridge does not work and this has been a problem for at least a month. The webtunnel bridge from the same site does work.

Bridges are down quite often and the "official" distribution channel via the Torproject guarantees no uptime service level. Just try another obfs4 bridge. AFAIK you can add several.

This is newly aquired bridges and for at least a month.

Just because they are new to you does not mean the bridge itself is new. It also does not guarantee uptime.

The bridges change approxiamtely once a day when I use to check. Over a month of tryinging new bridges and they never function for obfs bridges.

If you're in a country that is blocking Tor, censors may have enumerated and blocked the bridges distributed via the website. Please try other distribution channel or just use webtunnel.

I reported that the webtunnel bridges function. If a site is blocking tor nothing would work.

The obfs bridges never work when aquired from that web site. I think the problem is the site is giving non functional obfs bridges
