Because encryption is illegal, not ip addresses and port combinations. At the most basic level, they could just block tcp 443 and probably stop the most customers with that alone. If the ISPs really care, then deep packet inspection is the next probability to detect and block anything the dpi device claims is encrypted traffic. Bridges aren't public tor relays. So comparing a list of public tor relays and trying to catch bridge users will not work. -- Andrew pgp key: 0x74ED336B _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
