 > On Sat 24 Feb 18, at about 4 pm GMT, Snowflake flaked out in the UAE.
 Working fine at 3:30 pm GMT, unable to connect at 4 pm. Meek still works.
 I have not tried bridges from bridges.torproject.org. I downloaded 3, but
 always try the menu items first. obfs4 is now blocked, and snowflake seems
 to be blocked, but Meek works. If Meek stops, I'll try the private
 bridges.

 Well it doesn't work even for me, so no worries, the censors still have no
 clue about snowflake ;)
