Handle issue with ooni.torproject.org subdomains

[hellais]

What we should do on our end is:

• Check every place where we mention *.ooni.torproject.org and replace it with *.ooni.org
  • [ ] Mobile app strings
  • [x] Explorer
  • [x] Run
  • [x] Probe-desktop
  • [ ] Engine
  • [x] test-lists-ui
  • [ ] documentation
  • [ ] website content
  • [ ] past research reports
  • [ ] More
• [ ] Evaluate possible solutions for handling this in a cleaner way and assess impact
  • [ ] Tor will setup on their own infrastructure a 302 redirect. We should have in place something to check that it's working properly and notify us if it breaks (ensure URL paths are being rewritten, headers are being forwarded, etc.)
  • [ ] Implement tighter ACME configuration at the DNS level

@aanorbel can you look into where in the mobile app we reference anything that contains the string *.ooni.torproject.org and document the location and URL in this issue?

@majakomel can you do the same for frontend?

We should then update all the strings and write some tests to ensure the redirects work.

@aanorbel thanks for looking into this!

It's not clear to me if these strings are actually used. You mentioned for Android that:

This directory is out of sync and doesn't reflect what is available in Transifex or Google Play

Does this also apply to iOS?

Can you clarify in which instances these links would be used and what we need to do in order to update the reference to the new links?

[aanorbel]

The links are not used in the description of OONI Probe Android but are present in .xlf files which are present in the repository. Deleting these files which have no consequence to the overall working of the repository would resolve the issue.
