• Snowflake proxy and TOR to bypass Internet censorship

    Snowflake is a system for bypassing Internet censorship. People who
    are censored can use Snowflake to access the Internet.

    If your Internet access is not censored, please consider installing
    Snowflake to help users on censored networks.

    Like a Tor bridge, a user can access the open Internet when even
    regular Tor connections are censored. Using Snowflake is as simple
    as switching to a new bridge configuration in the Tor browser.

    Snowflake allows to connect to the Tor network in places where Tor
    is blocked by routing connection through volunteer proxies located
    in uncensored countries.

    The Snowflake system consists of three components: Volunteers who
    run Snowflake proxies, Tor users who want to connect to the
    Internet, and a broker that delivers Snowflake proxies to users.

    You don't need to worry about the websites that users access
    through your proxy. Their visible IP address will be the one of the
    Tor exit node and not yours.

    Hardly seems worthwhile. Also, there's no way to know how much bandwidth
    it uses.

    Your Snowflake is ready to help users circumvent censorship

    Number of users your Snowflake has helped circumvent censorship in the
    last 24 hours: 26

    Note: I've been running it for 25 hours as of now.

    Thanks to your help, 26 people had access to
    uncensored internet in 24 hours.

    It's worth running Snowflake.

    It's only at 13 now, basically one every two hours. I'll keep it running
    for now though.
