Pluggable transports bundles 2.4.15-beta-2-pt1 with Firefox 17.0.8esr

by dcf | August 11, 2013

We've updated the Pluggable Transports Tor Browser Bundles with Firefox 17.0.8esr and Tor 0.2.4.15-beta-2. These correspond to the Tor Browser Bundle release of August 9 and contain important security fixes.

These bundles contain flash proxy and obfsproxy configured to run by default. If you want to use flash proxy, you will have to take the extra steps listed in the flash proxy howto.

These bundles contain the same hardcoded obfs2 bridge addresses as the previous bundles which may work for some jurisdictions but you are strongly advised to get new bridge addresses from BridgeDB.

These bundles are signed by David Fifield (0x5CD388E5) with this fingerprint.

I think I have witnessed the same behaviour on my linux machine earlier today. I downloaded it again just some minutes ago and this time I don't get the message. So my advice is to download it again, probably there was an update some hours ago.

Thank you!

For the first time the connecting time for "Pluggable transports bundles 2.4.15-beta-2-pt1 with Firefox 17.0.8esr" is about 20 sec.

The newer one. It has Tor

The newer one. It has Tor 0.2.4.16-rc, which is better.

It seems BridgeDB is no

It seems BridgeDB is no longer giving obfs proxy addresses?
the plain bridges work here in China... for a few minutes...
but its only giving 3 plain bridges, each repeated 3 times :P
and the obfs addresses i have from before are dying out 1 by one.
