• 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

    It's worth running Snowflake.

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

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



    Freedom of information is related to freedom of expression,
    which can apply to any medium, be it oral, writing, print,
    electronic, or through art forms. This means that the protection
    of freedom of speech as a right includes not only the content,
    but also the means of expression.

    Snowflake allows you to share access to free and open
    communication on the Internet with censored Internet users
    around the world. Enabling this extension turns your browser
    into a proxy that connects Tor users in censored regions to
    the Tor network.

    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.

    your proxy. Their visible IP address will be the one of the Tor exit
    node and not yours.

    When you think about it, it's not a good idea to install Snowflake,
    because the people who need it come from countries where all the illegal
    aliens come from, and they shouldn't be helped for free without

    financial support from torproject.org, under any circumstances.

    The good people in Russia or China, for example, don't need Snowflake!

    Is there a way to know how much bandwidth it uses?
