Helllo, fist of all, nice fork!

I am just curious if it's possible to implement an extra feature, which allows getting obfs4 bridges.

obfs4 bridge example

juev commented 5 months ago

@beeyev For security reasons, information about obsf4 bridges is provided in a very limited form and only after certain checks. This is done to make it more difficult to block bridges.

Currently, the use of obsf4 bridges is implemented in a number of programs, for example, in the Tor browser. And it is not entirely clear why to implement the same functionality here.

The purpose of tor-relay-scanner is to find public relays that are available for use in a specific location.

Understood, thanks for the detailed explanation, I appreciate it.
