Kevin Karhan :verified:<p>There are several issues I have with <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@torproject" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>torproject</span></a></span> 's <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BridgeDB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BridgeDB</span></a>: </p><p>For once, it's good and convenient but it's filtering options are half broken.</p><p>For example <a href="https://bridges.torproject.org/bridges/?transport=webtunnel&ipv6=yes" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bridges.torproject.org/bridges</span><span class="invisible">/?transport=webtunnel&ipv6=yes</span></a> will get me a <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Webtunnel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Webtunnel</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TorBridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TorBridge</span></a> that has <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/IPv6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IPv6</span></a>, but setting ipv6=no or ipv4=yes doesn't work.</p><p>Nor can I add ports=80,443 or port=443&port=80 or similar.</p><p>So it would be really cool if one could just query stuff like that [OFC I'm not talking about the CAPTCA, that exist for reasons]...</p>
