### First witnessed
|
|
|
The first reports of Tor being blocked emerged at December 16, 2012. It happened just a few days after the Internet was shut down in Syria. The downtime might have been used to deploy (new?) DPI boxes. The usage statistics suggest that the deployment happened immediately rather than incremental.

Almost nothing is known at this point. It is probably DPI given that the bridge usage dropped immediately. obfsproxy still works.
