Join the Fight: Tor Project’s Mission to Smash Censorship with 200 New WebTunnels!
The Tor Project urgently seeks volunteers to set up 200 new WebTunnel bridges to combat increased censorship in Russia. With Tor’s built-in tools under threat, these bridges will help users bypass restrictions. Volunteers setting up five or more bridges will receive a t-shirt. Join the fight for internet freedom!
Hot Take:
Looks like the Tor Project is playing a game of digital whack-a-mole with Russian censors! They’ve thrown down the gauntlet, and are calling on the privacy community to help them out. Who knew fighting government censorship could come with a free t-shirt? Now, that’s a fashion statement worth supporting.
Key Points:
- The Tor Project calls for volunteers to deploy 200 new WebTunnel bridges by the end of the year.
- Current censorship in Russia is impacting Tor’s circumvention mechanisms.
- WebTunnel bridges blend Tor traffic with regular web traffic, making it harder to detect.
- Volunteers setting up five or more bridges receive a t-shirt as appreciation.
- Required resources include a static IPv4, SSL/TLS certificate, and 1 TB/month bandwidth.
